That's the subtext bursting out of this news story that desperately tries to paint a gregarious gambler as someone who was quiet and frugal, since only weirdos like that perpetrate massacres such as what happened in Vegas recently. He probably even tucked in his shirt and didn't curse in public! Of course, "normal" people would never carry out a slaughter like this. They're too busy getting abortions, dutifully paying taxes to finance illegal wars, and voting for another psychopath to perpetrate those wars.
There is plenty of reason to doubt the official story here, not because of the shooter's personality, but rather because of recordings in which more than a single firearm are clearly audible, and because of the high improbability that an untrained senior citizen could maintain accurate and sustained automatic fire at such elevation and distance.
But even if the official story is true, in no way does it follow that the right to bear arms should be surrendered. The chances of dying in an incident like this are infinitesimal, plus it is better to live free and in danger than to live as a slave in safety -- at least that's what America's founders believed, though most people today lack the heart to risk their lives to preserve liberty.
