Ah but no, no other factor could've possibly made the culprits commit the crime, it must've been the smoking ban right? Wrong.

It really doesn't seem all that complicated ... seems quite a simple cause and effect thing .... not in the sense that all would react by shooting, but this is a particular case, and hopefully an isolated one. Their state of mind: homicidal. Their possession of firearms: obviously they were packing. I don't think anything or anyone "made" them do it, but the lack of coercion does not really enter into it. I can't see how anyone can deny the link between the ban and the act.
