I mean as far as I know it had no long term effects. Shootings aren't exactly rare in the USA, what's the take here?

    Yeah he had money, but wasn’t he a lonely old gambler who lived in a casino? Sounds pretty alienating. I think the meaninglessness of modern life has something to do with these shootings but the argument from both sides is only ever about guns and “mental health” but purely on an individual level

      He had a house and a good amount of wealth even after taking some big gambling losses. He stayed at the casino a lot because they'd comp him rooms and meals and whatnot when he was spending/losing. Plus a girlfriend/wife although she seemed to be abroad and it might not have been much of a romantic relationship.

      Almost certainly alienated though.
