Would you support a ban on semi-automatic weapons and ammunition?

I agree with the OP's opening statement "Mass killings cannot be stopped" and that is a major reason why people need firearms to protect themselves and others! We (USA) have been kinda lucky as the mass shootings we've had here are mostly from poorly trained 'lone wolf' types. What would happen if a few of these despicable bastards got together and managed to get into a concert or football game? But here I am preaching to the choir and the OP is probably long gone and would never understand anyway. Oh well

No, they can be stopped.

Every one of them has been stopped by a good guy showing up with a gun.

Even the recent Texas one. Unfortunately the cops on site were not the good guys in that one.

Stopped was his word, if it was me I would've said prevented.

Ohio set to allow teachers to carry guns with reduced training requirements

The Ohio legislature passed a bill that would allow teachers to conceal carry a firearm on school property without the 737 hours of training previously required.

"The bill will allow any adult that is licensed to carry a concealed firearm in both public and private schools with a reduced training requirement, doing away with the 737 hours of peace officer training that is currently required in favor of mandating only 24 hours of training. Individual schools and districts have the option to set their own policies, including requiring additional hours of training."

Couple of things. They aren't training to be peace officers, so thats irrelevant.

"...that would allow them to carry a first aid kit without the 8 years of medical school required to be a doctor... "

And two, that comes out to over 92 work days of training.

I don't belive Navy SEALS get that many hours of weapons training.
