The Las Vegas shooter had an absolute arsenal of weapons, guns, rifles and ammunition, that could have suited a army squad and he owned and I believe he was able buy them all legally.
Earlier, the President hosted a emotional listening session in the White House of some of the victims parents from various school massacres. It was a long session, well over an hour and I watched it all, truly moving. Particular the dad whose daughter died last week in the Florida shooting.
About 20.55 minutes in is when he speaks. He said this is not a party vs party issue.
Trump asked for some suggestions. The Second Amendment is not going away. The meeting was about protecting schools, some present felt schools were soft targets, with having gun free zones at some campuses.
If people don't have the inclination to watch the entire listening debate, just watch the father speak at 20.55 minutes in.

Looked it up as that figure seemed incredibly high! One per person on average as of 2007 might be more accurate, although considering there were twice as many guns then than there were in 1968 God knows how many more have been acquired in the 10 years since 2007
