That is the most important thing to take away from this.
I learned to shoot as a kid in the 60s. I asked my father for a pellet gun and he told me no. He said those are for vandalism. He signed me up for shooting lessons at age 12. He gave me a 7mm Mauser Fabrique Nationale rifle with elevated peep sights. WW2 vintage from Italy so a Browning built gun I think. No scope. He did that as the local Army Navy store sold 7mm rounds by the coffee can full for dirt cheap, so I could learn and practice for cheap. Then he let me buy a .22 once I could be trusted. I got very good, very fast. I understand what a person can or can't do.
I've never been one to blame others for the action of an individual. He was the guilty one. Turns out he was bullied in school and a loner, which should answer all questions of why. He wanted to leave this world as an Internet celebrity. Probably not even political.
