The answer is simple: Those shooting others without weapons are cowards. A coward would not seek the strongest person to kill, because the strongest person would beat him up quickly, right?
Gun ownership is a form of cowardice.
When having fun at a shooting range, there are no cowards. It's a sport; it's fun. No problem.
But animal hunting with a gun is already a weakness. Sure, there are reasons to cull a deer population too large because we removed all their natural predators. And perhaps you are so poor you have to hunt deer to get some food on the table. There are good reasons to hunt. But hunting an animal for fun and killing it is the utmost cowardice thing to do. It's like playing a video game, the animal itself truly unimportant. Whoever brags about killing a lion is a big pussy himself, a coward.
I once has a friend who spoke in an honest manner to me questioning how it would feel like to kill another man. I quickly turned it around and asked him how it would feel like to be killed by another man. That shut him up. He had not played out the opposite scenario in his mind, and so the question disappeared quickly. He is an old man now, not having killed anyone else (as far as I know).
The gun industry is like the tobacco industry. They do not give a rat’s ass about people killing people. They are cowards, too, because they are not the ones pulling the trigger; they just set others up, triggering them. A gun is not a natural tool, so when angry and upset (or when depressed), a gun can bring out change faster than how fast we are naturally capable of changing things.
So, now you know. These characters, very upset for some kind of reason, childlike perhaps inside their brains, are cowards and they are using dumb tools. They had to show the world they are capable of producing a large turd and they were willing to go down with that turd. But they were pissing in the pot. They were not standing up to the man. They are cowards.

Those that end up killing important people are also cowards. Instead of revolutionizing society via hard work, they come up with a plan that is potentially available to them and that is the easiest route toward mayhem.
Once it is done, society mourns and moves on. Nothing got changed. Nothing changes. If there was ever a reason for making a change, it will never happen because of a shooting.
If we want to change society, we have to start with the law. There are opportunities to change society, today. But we have to come together to do that, and that takes courage. Standing up to the man takes courage.
