In regards to focusing only on the use of a gun by this murderer think about this.........
He stated he purposely used a knife to murder the victims in his apartment flat as to silently murder as to not be detected. Shooting his victims in the apartment probably would have alerted police which probably would have stopped his ability to continue his spree.
His access to a auto allowed him to have mobility to create multiple crimes scenes of death and carnage.
One could look at it as fact that without using the knife and without the use of a auto he may never have made to where he shot that man and the father's son the topic of this thread, would still be alive.

I blame the media who use grief as a platform of emotion to get people worked up over guns. I imagine there were other grief stricken parents, but one wonders why they weren't paraded out. Maybe because their views weren't in line with what the media would prefer to showcase.
All they have is an emotional argument. Legal gun ownership and gun control standards have no relation to gun violence and they know it, so all they can do is sensationalize these incidents to push their cause even though this kid killed just as many people without a gun.
Of course -- he's a liberal and we can excuse him for his grief -- but it's the liberal mass media trying to exploit this for their agenda -- so they're focusing on the shot victim but ignoring the 3 he murdered by stabbing them with a knife. Anything for the agenda..
The gun control crusade today is like the Prohibition crusade 100 years ago.
It is a shared zealotry that binds the self-righteous know-it-alls in a warm
fellowship of those who see themselves as fighting on the side of the angels
against the forces of evil. It is a lofty role that they are not about to give
up for anything so mundane as facts-- or even the lives of other people.
Hey here is the perfect solution for you all ...........
Disband the ACLU , allow government and police without a warrant to snoop all your personal emails, twitter, youtube and other sources of thought and speech.
Repeal the 4th amendment and Allow police to detain or lock up any person deemed a potential threat at their discretion.
Disband the NRA and deem the 2nd amendment void with gun ownership only allowed at the discretion of authorities.
Anybody showing signs of mental instability revoke their driver license and ban them from driving.
Promote a climate of watch your neighbor or relative and turn them in at the slightest hint of questionable character or lifestyle, with the authorities allowed to detain such person until said person can be interviewed and or examined for "testing".
Increase taxes to what ever it takes to hire a police force to keep watch on citizens and be able to respond.
We will all be a lot safer then with a lot less chance of any loon going off and acting out violence.
Or maybe we just have a professional evaluate a person when they have made multiple threats of harm?
This killing spree speaks volumes about the ineffectiveness of gun laws.
"High Capacity" Magazines: CA law prohibited magazines over 10 rounds, so killer carried a bunch of legal 10 rounders. Law did nothing to prevent this tragedy.
Gun Background Check: Killer passed background check. Law did nothing to prevent this tragedy.
Illegal to Carry Loaded Firearm in Vehicle Without Permit: Killer did it anyway. Law did nothing to prevent this tragedy.
Illegal to Carry Weapon in Public Without Permit: Killer did it anyway. Law did nothing to prevent this tragedy.
Illegal to Assault or Murder Someone: Killer did it anyway. Laws did nothing to prevent this tragedy.
These are just a few of the laws that were ineffective here. There are also laws pertaining to knives and motor vehicles that were ineffective in preventing this tragedy.
So...more laws will work?
