Quote from the story:
"Huff had guns that were legal to possess. The guns he used in the killings appear to have been bought legally, which is disturbing, given the sneaky lethalness of his 12-gauge and his past gun trouble.
The Capitol Hill slayings present an opportunity for people to talk about how our nation is overrun with guns, including high-caliber assault rifles and semiautomatics."

Yes...let's not waste a minute thinking about what might
cause a person to go bonkers and kill a group of partygoers...
Having access to firearms doesn't initiate psychopathic behavior. Some form of rot in his brain (drugs, alcohol, mental illness?) caused him to act out his wacked fantasy.
But, it's much easier to blame an inanimate object than take a look at how our "do it if it feels good" society may be playing into these killings...
