True, but without a gun he likely could not have killed himself. So a gun was actually helpful AND necessary.
A machete, a sledgehammer, a chainsaw, any number of devices which also serve as tools but can be used as overwhelming weapons could have been used to similar effect.
Or a baseball bat. Or a hammer. Or a crowbar. Or a car. Or a nail gun. Etc.

Get rid of guns, and with modern technology, it’s a cinch these days to make your own weapons. Necessity is the mother of invention.
And then what? How would ordinary people defend themselves then?
