Ummmmm... he wasn't trying to kill 100 people with the friggin' gun... he was using a POS SUV, a cheap ass alarm clock and propane.
There's more of an issue, IMO, with how he got the vehicle (and was NOT the current registered owner) than how he got the 9mm that he was apparently willing to let get blown up.
Terrorists with guns are easily combated by other guns carried by law enforcement and/or trained civilians. The POS pulls a gun and shoots, then he gets shot in return. Gun-related terrorism can be easily combated and their destructive capacity limited by allowing trained citizens to carry. The Fort Hood attack... if one of those soldiers was carrying... alot of death could have been prevented. Better yet, if they took that SOB out beforehand (as they knew he had extremist views) it could have been prevented. But NO... political correctness wins the day and Americans die because of it.
Terrorists with car bombs: different story. Cars and explosives (propane) are easy to get, as are the other necessary components. A car can be left parked for days before the bomb detonates. If the bomb is in a trunk or otherwise very well concealed, and the idiot terrorist doesn't leave tell-tale signs that something is 'up' (aka: keys left in ignition) you'll never know unless a dog sniffs it or it goes off.
