We know his name, we know where he's from, and we can reasonable speculate his religion, motive, and inspiration. That's not in contention.

Go count the bodies in Las Vegas again. That terror has no readily discernible cause but our insistence that private arsenals are essential to our Liberty, but there's nothing to be done, no one to hold responsible. That's just the cost of Freedom.

That's the point of the OP but you refuse to consider it. Or you're not capable.
