Not to be insensitive, but are you saying that if he was not high, he would have used a gun?
No, I'm suggesting that had he not been high, he might not have killed anyone at all.
IOW, in the context of the current discussion, sober people with free access to weapons of any kind are not the major problem. [IMO.] People with (chemically or otherwise) impaired judgment are a much greater danger to themselves and others.

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam… God bless America! My home, sweet home.
