So My theory about this guys motives is a little out there. I dont know all the facts or even how accurate what I do know is.
But from what I understand he had purchased most of these guns rather recently, and his brother seemed genuine saying he doesnt know why he had any guns.
So maybe he purchased and stockpiled them over some time planning an attack to show why we need to ban assault rifles.
Just a theory.

Does she have a point? Could this shooter have used a silencer? Would it have made it harder to find the shooter?
Imagine someone remotely controlling your brain, forcing your body’s central processing organ to send messages to your muscles that you didn’t authorize. It’s an incredibly scary thought, but scientists have managed to accomplish this science fiction nightmare for real, albeit on a much small scale, and they were even able to prompt their test subject to run, freeze in place, or even completely lose control over their limbs. Thankfully, the research will be used for good rather than evil… for now.
The effort, led by physics professor Arnd Pralle, PhD, of the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences, focused on a technique called “magneto-thermal stimulation.” It’s not exactly a simple process — it requires the implantation of specially built DNA strands and nanoparticles which attach to specific neurons — but once the minimally invasive procedure is over, the brain can be remotely controlled via an alternating magnetic field. When those magnetic inputs are applied, the particles heat up, causing the neurons to fire.
The study, which was published in the most recent edition of the journal eLife, includes experiments where were performed on mice. Using the new technique, the researchers were able to control the movement of the animals, causing them to freeze, lock up their limbs, turn around, or even run.
Effort to Remotely Control Brain Cells Gets Push from Innovative Grant
Scientists developing a non-invasive technique for triggering brain activity receive $1.2 million from the Human Frontier Science Program .
The project is led by University at Buffalo Assistant Professor Arnd Pralle, PhD, a physicist who has pioneered a method of using tiny, magnetic particles to remotely induce neurons to fire.
The Human Frontier Science Program is a program of funding for frontier research in the life sciences. It is implemented by the International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) with its office in Strasbourg.

He busted out the window in a high-rise hotel, ever smoked with the window open? The air flow sucks the smoke OUT, but apparently this time the airflow kept the smoke IN the room in order to set the fire alarm off so that the police could go in and find his already dead body.
