court records did not show any previous charges against the alleged suspect

Which is the problem when you use the argument that “law-abiding citizens” should be allowed to own guns. Everybody is law-abiding before they are caught committing a crime. Their first offence could be a murder using a gun.

How do we know that he legally owned the gun?

I didn't see anything saying he had it legally.

I'm saying the same argument applies to everyone. Legal gun owners with no criminal record also shoot and kill innocent people. You cannot predict who will and who won't use a gun in a crime.

honestly, their first offence will be negligent homicide for leaving a gun around. Show me someone who needs a pistol just laying around and I'll show you someone with unresolved control issues.
