He was a multimillionaire, so a little matter of gun laws wouldn't have stopped him.

They can't un-invent guns so they will still be out there.

A key difference with the UK is that we have never really had that much of a gun culture in the past. Evidence of that is that the UK is one of the few countries where Police officers don't routinely have firearms.

Using the label of "Terrorism" is complete and utter ... nonsense. Terrorism is more about the threat of FUTURE violence, if a particular aim isn't followed. A one-off "Terrorist" act without a shared aim would be meaningless. The only "Terrorist" aim he could have had is the introduction of new gun laws. How would the anti-gun lobby react to that?
