If he couldn't get a gun, or maybe decided to use another means, like, gasoline or other means. Or maybe black market like the 1996 guy in Australia (he didn't have a permit to buy the guns, and one was stolen from Victoria State Police) or pick any mass shooting in Europe in the past few years. It makes more sense to deal with the individuals rather than continue pointless culture wars about the means used.

this kind of attacker has no problem getting automatics in Europe. Synagogues throughout Europe often have security armed with submachine guns. Given our larger population, its amazing that haven't had as many attacks here as there.

Perhaps a better question is what do we do about those elements on the extreme right and left that simply think that it is OK to kill Jews?

Just one more thing, news articles are often written by people who lack the curiosity to ask for basic facts. The pitbull in the story turns out to be a black lab, or the AR turns out to be a pump shotgun, etc.
