I believe they said he purchased the handguns (at least the 9mm... not sure about the .22) at a gun shop. In most states that's not such an easy task. Some states require that you have some sort of class before being able to purchase, all require a background check, and depending on the state there are also additional laws. It's much easier to buy a gun from an individual which is something that won't be controlled no matter how many laws are passed in Congress. In addition to collecting vintage cardboard I also like collecting guns and shooting them. I own several handguns and rifles (most of which are semi-automatic) and I know how easy it is to obtain them from individual sellers legally or otherwise. All the bans and restrictions in the world aren't going to prevent people from buying firearms... it will just make it more difficult for the law abiding citizens to get them.
