However, if we can believe the information that has been released so far, it would be hard to draw the conclusion that this instance could have been prevented with tighter gun control.

Can I just draw you on the fact that here I stated that I didn't think this could be blamed on gun control. I had said this as often, my colleagues on the left use this as a one-size fits all response to these kinds of attacks, and I wanted to avoid such politicising in wake of an attack of which the information released shows it would have had little to no effect.

And it's certainly correct that politicking after these attack is part of the reason the news continues to circulate but that is true of any country where the news media tends towards sensationalism and laziness.
