I really don’t understand why people are downvoting these remarks. We can feel desperately sad and sorry for his wife and child and family while also recognising that he has literally espoused wide availability of guns AND the inevitability of gun deaths as a result.

He talked the talk, and now he has walked the walk.

Gun deaths are inevitable because there are bad people that we can't expunge from civilized society that will kill regardless, not because he wanted to be killed by one.
That isn’t the only reason why there are large numbers of gun deaths in the US.
The reason is the demographics. And it'll never be solved because you're not even allowed to talk about it.
Nope, don’t think it’s the demographics, unless by demographics you mean “easy to buy a gun”.
Everyone in Switzerland has a gun, where is their gun violence? What about Finland, Iceland, Austria, New Zealand?
