2. Not suprised the militia guy would try to kill himself afterwards.

A lot of these big mouth militia types may have been in the military but never shot a person, and from what I've had Vietnam vets tell me, shooting a man is totally different from than shooting varmints or game.
It's not something a lot of people could do alone and in cold blood, no matter how much of a conspiracy theory but job they are. Historically, most people need to be facing a threat (kill or be killed) or have someone there providing them with a legitimate justification before they can take that first shot against another human. IMO, that's part of the reason so many murders end up being murder-suicides.
