"I'm pretty sure that murder is against the law. Willingness to break that law 32 times in a couple of hours might also be a hint that the person is willing to break any and all gun laws that might be in place."
Joe, I think there is a flaw in your reasoning. Because somebody is willing to break a law does not mean that a particular law is a not a good idea or a step in the right direction. We can find people willing to break just about any law. That does not mean we throw away laws.
Obviously we will not have a gun-free America in any of our lifetimes since there are 300,000,000 guns in private hands in America. Even if we banned them today, we could not erradicate them. But that does not mean that it should not be an aim to strive towards.
Yes, the killer killed those innocent people. And he did it WITH A GUN (actually two guns). And it was a lot easier for him and he killed a lot more people that he could have otherwise because he had a gun.
