Pretty simple, I agree.
It's undoubtedly much easier to shoot someone than, say, stab them because shooting is done at arm's length with no physical contact with the victim. I'm sure to disturbed individuals like this one it just feels like playing a video game. And the only practical way to "tackle" a gunman is with a gun of your own.
If the guns hadn't been available to this guy, he may well have killed his mother with a knife but he certainly wouldn't have been able to kill 20 kids and 6 adults without being stopped.
But the gun lovers have so much political power...
