Yes there is and it's simple… I am a law abiding citizen with no record with the second amendment. More importantly, my guns haven't hurt anyone.

Authorities have identified the gunman as 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae, as CNN reported.
MSU Interim Deputy Police Chief Chris Rozman said police had recovered a weapon but at the time had not determined whether it was used in the shooting.
After the shooting, McRae was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, per CNN.
“We have no idea why he came to campus to do this,” Rozman said hours after McRae opened fire.
