Of course we know that.
If the motivation is powerful enough, a weapon more powerful than a handgun will be created. Why do you think IEDs became famous in Afghanistan and Iraq ? The resistance could not fight against tanks and jet fighters, but they were motivated nonetheless. They had to find alternatives and they did. The Boston Marathon is an example of the civilian side of that.
Yet, they didn't create weapons...they only bought weapons like buying candies. Will they be able to create explosives, home made weapons which will pack the punch of a assault rifle ? I dunno, but i don't think, so.
What i know is, in Turkey we have gun laws, mofos can't buy military grade weapons, and i have not seen an incident where some alone crazy lunatic guy would create IEDs to kill innocents...it's the same case in most of the Europe afaik.
Yet, pointing out the motivation of the attack solved anything ? Does it contribute to any kind of solution ?If motivation does not matter, then you cannot argue about 'crazy' people getting their hands on guns. Being mentally ill -- in the clinical sense -- is a motivator for committing violence. That is why in every incident you cited, psychologists were called in to testify, for the government and for the media.
