Well, I guess if only one potential shooter was unable to acquire the weapon and so that one did not kill 26 people that would be worth something to those 26 people's family, children and friends.
And to look at it another way, how many AK47s or AR15s in the hands of good gun owners have been used to prevent or end actual mass shootings? Since your reference of only mentally unstable (or criminals) would have access to them would imply that others having access in some way would or does help prevent these mass shootings.
