I think they're saying he had two 9MMs and lots of clips of ammo.

well, we already have laws that limit the number of shells for some of the high capacity automatics, so he probably had some from before the bill was passed which I believe were still legal.
so I doubt more laws will make a difference.

If you possess high caps purchased before 2000, they are legal. That being said, no college-aged kid today can own those legally.
Dids said it best in another thread, that no amount of gun control could have stopped this.
IMO, this situation highlights why a 100% ban on firearms doesn't work. Criminals don't care.
How would this story be changed if a gun-toting responsible student put an end to the gunman's life?

I find it interesting that the first conclusion many people are drawing about this is that no amount of gun control would have made a difference.

That's because it's an accurate assertion. The mass murderer was clearly in violation of gun laws and obviously had little regard for the law. Unless you go on a Crusader campaign across the globe, you will always be able to get firearms.
