While this can get into a debate around firearms bannings, and that is a discussion that seems to happen, if these guns weren't the ones that were seized, then it goes to the argument that a determined shooter is going to find a way to get weapons, and our governments need to do a way better effort in terms of illegal firearms markets and smuggling. But we are in that point again of wondering how someone that seemed to be clearly mentally ill slipped through the cracks.
We can't look at the pictures of the young victims and hear the wrecked family and say "Gee we should do better", we have to do better, and at the end of this, there needs to be a open investigation in public and there has to be concrete steps taken from that investigation.

Why not wait to see when more information is revealed?
Just because the guns were not licensed to the shooter doesn’t mean they have anything to do with smuggling/illegal firearms markets.
Agree that things like this expose areas of improvement, but they should probably focus on what’s known, not guesses over things they may not be related.
