Although some of the numbers are suprising, i’truth this could have been carried out by two men with one gun apiece.

is it easier for potential terrorists to acquire one gun each if there are more guns in the community

A bit less expensive, perhaps, but the difficulty is unlikely to be more or less.

Lock things down all you like. If someone really wants a gun, they’ll get a gun.

It just might cost rather more.

I keep thinking about the Columbine shooters. Denied guns on their own, they enlisted an older friend to purchase guns from a gun show. Nowadays one can 3D print a weapon with instructions from the internet. Most pf them are probably pretty flimsy, but I have heard of ones capable of firing bullets.

Then of course is the dark web and friend-of-a-friend’s cousin’s roommate who can obtain guns.
