"TREY GOWDY: You want to track the shooter. You also want to track the access to the firearms. Where did the guns come from? Were they straw purchases? Did he go into a gun store? Was it a private sale? That's all you can do now because there's not going to be a trial. These parents, they want answers. Everyone wants to know why."
"Emily, there is no answer to the why. Nothing explains shooting at children. We could bring in the world's foremost forensic psychiatrist. OK, he was troubled. He was bullied at school. Well, then go do something to the people that bullied you. You picked on children. So if we are waiting on a why, then we're going to be unsatisfied."

Live cable coverage raised questions about access to firearms, including straw purchases, gun store sales, and private sales, and framed a tension between freedom and protecting children. One co-host noted that laws such as murder already apply. Coverage emphasized parents' demand for answers and the difficulty of finding a why after a shooter dies, leaving justice and closure unresolved.
