Is this a Fallacy: poising the well
The author places the people that are against his view of Right-to-Carry in the same sentence with the perpetrator. He asseverates, “State legislators and average Americans are realizing that gun-free zones appeal to only two groups of people: the irrational, unreasonable anti-gun crowd… and killers.”

The author conflates the people that are against the "right to carry" with perpetrators of mass violence. He asserts that“State legislators and average Americans are realizing that gun-free zones appeal to only two groups of people: the irrational, unreasonable anti-gun crowd… and killers.”
