I think we all agree that normal people are not at risk of perpetrating mass murder. Even the more eccentric weirdo's we see around guns have no intention of murdering people. It is the extremely disaffected fruit cakes with no moral compass that want to kill others. The focus on the AR15 is because along with a compromised mindset it is a common thread in all these shootings. You can focus on the compromised mindset, on the means, or both. You can also focus on the symptoms (before it happens), or the cure (mitigation when it happens). Complicating this is a country that valorizes individual freedoms and cultural identity through gun ownership. Restricting the freedoms of fruit cakes is akin to restricting gun ownership. There will be resistance either way.
