I personally know someone who died in Parkland, Florida. I live in Philadelphia. I personally know someone who died in the Texas shooting. More Americans are having to worry about this shit because it's happening more frequently, especially since the repeal of regulations on AK-15-type weapons that expired in 2004.
It's a problem that's really easily addressed on a base level by starting with gun reform. I don't really get how you're trying to argue against common sense resolutions that will reduce the harm of the status quo. Yeah, we have a lot of things to worry about, but seriously taking a look at our legislation and our gun culture is a really good place to start.
You're neglecting regulations and advancements in technology since 1986 with your machine guns argument. They weren't readily available or mass produced. We didn't have a mass murder culture back then. We didn't even have that many mass murders back then. 1966 was really the first major mass murder in years. We passed legislation to prevent and curtail this over time.
I suggest you read Gun Control in the United States: A Reference Guide.
PS: Disastercenter.com is not a government website. It is a site that aggregates some government datasets without analysis or context—or really, content. You could have easily sourced something like...I dunno a first-hand source like the FBI or actual crime analytics like the CDC report. You literally linked to a website that's only copyrighted until 2015. My data actually directly contradicts your tired 2014 claim of a "spike" (note, the relative crime rate went down, actually, a dip). Crime was up to its highest in 2016 at 12%.
