The question is then should society enable that enjoyment at the risk of mass-shootings. Could people maybe get their kicks a different way.

I've only shot air-rifles and shotguns IRL, I can appreciate the addictive qualities.

Everything can be used in a destructive fashion, if a society is mature enough then it can enjoy them. Alcohol, private planes, cars, knives, food,etc all carry the same risk of abuse as guns.

More americans die of eating too much food each year than in all gun deaths ,let alone mass shootings.
