Actually, the gun Gamil Gabri (Marc Lapine)used he had attempted to modify to full automatic in the day(s) proceeding his shooting. He did not take into account that having the hammer merely follow the bolt home would not make the gun fire in an automatic mode. Instead he had to cock the gun with each shot. The mini 14 still remains an unrestricted gun.
His real name of Gamil Gabri comes as a surprise to most. It was not until many years after the incident that any paper printed his real name, vice the maiden name of his mother. Apparently, much of his hatred for women came from the values instilled by his Muslim father. In my books, his act was one of the Muslim hate crimes which are now realized by the Western world today.
