These guys that do this have lost touch with reality, in most cases they are acting out some part in their own fantasy with them as the good guy or bad guy according to their fantasy.
Almost all are psychopaths or sociopaths who have no empathy for their victims, the only thing that is important to them is that the fantasy is played out the way he imagines it. This guy dyed his hair red and has told the police that he was the Joker which may or may not be his fantasy, he may have told them that just to spoof them. He may not really know exactly why he acted out this fantasy but he will feel no remorse for his victims who he see's as "things".
If guns were banned these people would find another weapon to fulfill their fantasies, guns just give them a higher body count.

Prayers and thoughts go out to all the victims and their families.
