But, I honestly don't know if any gun laws could have helped this family. That 15 year old kid was coldly intent on murdering his entire family, and had enacted a plan to get away with it. If the gun was not available, I suspect he would have found another way.
Gun laws will only REDUCE murders, not make them non-existent.
