Gun Control is it worth it?

The last few years we have seen many new laws being proposed to help regulate weapons in the United States of America due to mass shootings. Stricter gun laws have taken place, which have made ammunition more expensive but not impossible to stock up on. Assault rifles have been banned and magazines have been capped out for specific gun types. The new laws have also made one month waits in between buying new guns and also having more in "depth" background checks. However how good are these background checks? Any person who is willing to take the time to plan out a mass shooting and also have the nerve to do it can pass these background checks. They only look for misdemeanors or charges that the purchaser may have had or been involved in the past. Maybe the shooter just started a mental breakdown because he/she was fired from their job or maybe a spouse just divorced them and that was the breaking point. What if guns aren't purchased legally however? Maybe the shooter doesn't have the patience to wait for the checks and bans on magazine sizes so they go to an illegal arms dealer or buy it off the black market? How did gun control stop it or prevent it? In all truth, it didn't. The shooter will find a stronger gun with a large capacity for ammunition and fire power while getting it a lot cheaper and faster than the legal way. So with all these factors in play would gun control still be worth the trouble?
