The possibility may be there, but people don't do it. And as our good friend smoore pointed out, there are many ways to kill large amounts of people if one so desires. Vehicular homicide, IED, poison, and so forth. In fact, they're easier for the average person to use than a firearm, as it's is significantly harder to hit ones target with a firearm than one might believe from watching movies.
