The killer was born in South Korea, but has lived in the US since 1992. He was 23 years old. He was not a nationalised American citizen but a legal resident alien, with similar rights to a citizen, except he can't vote, but he is legaly able to purchase firearms. We might have to review the ablity for non nationalised citizens ablity to purchase firearms. If he was not able to purchase two handguns, then this incident might have had a different outcome, or not happen at all. Though he might have still used another weapon to attack his girlfriend, he could not kill 32 other people with a blunt object.
