Second, your theory was of "some type" of attack happening in the US. Not necessarily a truck driving through a crowd.
It's correlation, but not causation. Some places have policies, and some states and municipalities have laws, regarding firearms in places where large groups of people gather. Churches, for instance, are off-limits for carry in Virginia. The very reason they are typically off-limits for carrying is why they make good targets: lots of vulnerable soft targets. But it isn't necessarily because the group is unarmed, just because it is a large gathering of people.
Besides, we have seen shootings in places that weren't gun free zones. The Dallas shootings are a most recent example. Not only did you have police, but you had people carrying rifles (that ended up being questioned as persons of interest because of it IIRC). Then there was that one school shooting in the Pacific NW that allowed firearms on campus. There have probably been others I just can't think of.
