This fellow was sadly an example of how impossible it is to try to profile violent people. Multi-Millionaire, no belief in God, no criminal background, in his 60s, etc.
Which means the debate just squarely has to turn to "Why on Earth was he able to get so many guns?". Even if what he used was illegal modifications, it's still mind boggling that he had so many. The fact that so many of them mostly came from gun shows and not dealers means that there isn't a paper trail for police to even follow and know where he had gotten them all.
But, what is even more shocking to think about is just how many people died, and every single person had a life just as rich and complicated as your own personal life. There is the story of a family that was on vacation at the concert with their 6 year old daughter. Now Dad has to bring their little girl back home without Mom. We have a story of a young man from Canada dying as a complete stranger held his hand because she didn't want his last moments to be alone. When you think of it in these ways, it is simply impossible to truly wrap your head around. That's just 2 of the 59 stories and people we lost.
