Clearly he used a gun to commit the crimes, so we know the 'how' part.

Seems to me that the 'why' part is just as if not more important to know.

I just don't think repeating "guns are bad" is of much use, as everyone agrees that a gun can
be bad. If we knew why (or where to place the 'blame'), then perhaps
this sort of thing can be prevented from happening again...at least until guns are completely
outlawed, which probably won't happen.
