No one is talking about a singular solution to this problem. The thing you're not grasping is that if something is illegal, that makes it harder to get. In almost every instance, an assault weapon that was previously banned was purchased legally by a person who then carried out a mass shooting. Very rarely are they not purchased legally. That's because they're easy to get. They chose that weapon specifically, not by chance.
So, once again, if you have a group of people in this country who are choosing to buy a specific type of weapon to carry out mass shootings, how is it not in the public's best interests to remove that weapon from store shelves?
