Would a background check have prevented this gay racist from having a gun? Just curious.
No, not at all. It has already been stated numerous times he purchased the gun lawfully. Had this purchase been blocked, he could have stolen a gun or even walked up to them with a vest laced with explosives.
The guy had a mission to kill those people. The gun he used is not the issue. Period. End of story.

But would you rather be in a position to defend yourself from a knife / blade or someone with a gun?
Yes. He wanted to kill them. Yes, without guns he would have likely have tried to kill them. But the idea is to make it more difficult to do it.
Is it easier to kill multiple people with a gun or a knife? Sure. I guess he could have gone with explosives, but that is a far more difficult undertaking for most than simply getting a gun.
I'm not saying it'll solve the problem or that murder will just disappear, but it will make it more difficult for people to kill each other, especially en masse.
