A couple of comments, from your link...

Of course the focus will be the gun and not the shooter
No mention that per FBI stats the only 0.7% of guns owned in the US are used in a crime

And of that 0.7% of the gun[s] used are by 80% who have a criminal record
We need criminal control not gun control

We don’t want a informed public
Only a knee jerk reaction

****
And California having some of the strictest gun laws in the Country. Just goes to show that gun laws aren’t the answer. This is the second mass shooting aimed at Conservatives.

From local news, he was a frequent patron at Borderline and went there with friends. According to neighbors, after the April incident, there were no more arguments or loud happenings at the home. I submit that is when he started planning. Here is the root - how many times have we heard this from the parent of a shooter: ‘we lived in fear but didn’t know what to do’?:

“A neighbor told CNN that the gunman’s mother “lived in fear” of what her son might do and that when police were called to the house earlier this year “it took them about a half a day to get him out of the house.”
“The neighbor, Richard Berge, said the shooter’s mother told him that while she didn’t fear for her own safety, she was concerned about her son and “kind of beside herself, she didn’t know what to do because he wouldn’t get help.”
