Yeah. Suing is funny. It doesn't actually guarantee that the individual being sued has the money.
If you shoot one person, odds are you can manage to pay whatever damage you've done in lost wages trauma whatever.
If you level a building, kill multiple people and give even more lifelong disabilities requiring medical care, you probably will not have the money to pay for those damages. You can be sued for those damages... but that's kind of irrelevant. If I sue you for $100 million, you aren't magically going to have that money appear in your bank account to transfer to me. I'll get the $20 TW paid you for a hummer yesterday and an IOU for the rest.
Don't get me wrong... I'm fine with that. I think it would be interesting for that to happen a little.
But I'm pretty sure a lot of the "don't infringe on my 2nd amendment!" people would have issues if random idiots started stockpiling weaponry that could damage large buildings or small city blocks. I'm not saying you want to. Maybe you're cool with it too. But to think it's just liberals who want to restrict your right to "arms" is incorrect. Most people in this country want to restrict your right to "arms". They just have a differing view on where that restricting line should lie.
