People who prey on seniors like this are scum of the earth.

The shooter likely has some dementia or other age-related neurological issue making him more paranoid and anxious than a typical person would be.

So that's a situation where family members must secure guns, when their loved one is no longer making rational judgments. And could accidentally harm themselves or someone else.

Not really something gun control can fix. He probably owned that pistol for decades.

If he didn’t have a gun, he wouldn’t have killed the unsuspecting Uber driver. He would have (and should have) called the police first, but when you have a gun, you want to be John Wayne.

It’s like when little kids find dad’s gun and shoot themselves accidentally. Calling it a terrible tragedy - but nothing can be done kind of misses the elephant in the room.
