This wasn't just a "guy who snapped". This was a guy who had 17 firearms with him, another 18 and explosives at home and ammonium nitrate (which can be used to make bombs) in his car. He had to transport his stash to a hotel room and he must have done some prep work to pick his location. And he had to amass all of this without raising alarm.
It seems he was wealthy - he had a pilot's licence and owned 2 planes. He was a retired accountant.
He had no apparent criminal or mental health history.
He must have had a serious beef with someone. There were some suggestions he had a grievance over some poker game (he regularly played $100 hands of Poker in the casinos. But surely something more substantial will emerge in the coming weeks.
Under Obama, the FBI took the view that domestic (non-Islamic) terrorism was its main concern, but Trump has no doubt tried to change the focus. Terrorism is now only something Muslims do. When right-wingers kill now, they are good people who snapped or who became mentally ill.
That's not to say that this guy was a right-winger - his family claims he was basically apolitical. And there was even a suggestion that IS claimed responsibility, saying he had been radicalised 2 months ago. The mystery deepens.
