He was interested in what makes terrible people do terrible things," Johnson told CNN. "Our relationship mostly consisted of us going out drinking and talking about our mental illnesses and him telling me about world tragedies and me talking about TV shows." Joking about personal mental illnesses is one of the biggest coping tools in the mental health toolbelt," she wrote.

"You don't know which people with mental illnesses will be the rare few like him, and who will be in the majority of the completely harmless," she said.

The speed with which he carried out the massacre drew attention not only to the firearm, but the large capacity ammunition magazines that enabled him to unload 41 rounds in 30 seconds. But only nine states have laws banning large-capacity ammunition magazines, and Ohio is not one of them. Large capacity magazines enable shooters to fire repeatedly without having to reload. The federal government banned gun owners from owning semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines from 1994 to 2004, until the law expired and lawmakers failed to renew it. What constitutes a large capacity magazine varies among states.
