The RCMP subsequently learned the killer paid a man named Neil Gallivan to purchase one assault-style rifle at a 2019 gun show in Houlton, Maine. The killer also obtained two illegal handguns from a close friend and collector named Sean Conlogue.
No charges have been laid against either Gallivan or Conlogue, and it’s still unclear why.

Considering their immediate reaction, and all the odds ties between the killer and the RCMP, it may be more a matter of "Why wait for a good tragedy?"
Most likely a Ray Epps type situation
