The shooter was armed with two handguns, one with a silencer, according to a police source. Silencers or suppressors are legal in 42 states, including Wisconsin. They must be registered with the federal government under the National Firearms Act. According to the latest report from the ATF, more than 29,333 are registered in the state.

Should we assume that the system/laws set up to keep maniacs like this from owning/buying a gun failed and that isn't helpful to the anti-gun/more regulation crowd, so it will get buried? Why do some of these stories get elevated as examples and others die a quick death? Somewhat rhetorical, but who decides?

Outrage sells news. If a story doesn't generate it, the tabloid media moves on.
