Doesn't really matter now does it. Six people are dead because some jackass snapped and now the media is going to say all guns are bad anyways, not just assault weapons.

I read on another thread that he was a recent muslim convert. Sounds like it could be more pre-meditated than just 'snapping'.
No matter WHAT it was, the media would paint it as some kind of "High-Powered-Assault-Sniper-Automatic-Repeating-Drug-Weapon-Of-Choice-etc-etc".
