As I read it, the arrested individual was a law-abiding citizen before the alleged incident. Thus, that he be allowed to buy a gun at all was a terror gap as:
1. Anyone buying a gun is a risk for terrorist use.
2. Is it because of his ethnicity, that he posed a terrorist risk.
Obviously, legally purchased guns can be used in criminal and/or terrorist incidents if the purchaser is legal at time of purchase but then goes on to do some bad thing.
Thus, shutting down all purchases would close the 'gap', I suppose - as ethnically profiling purchases is clearly morally or constitutionally unacceptable.
By the way, that use of insanity is technically incorrect - it might be common colloquial usage but not according to psychiatric or legal usage. If he were insane, then he would not be culpable for his statements and I think he his.
Oh, well - don't get in an uproar - it won't go anywhere. But both choirs will sing and go nutty for awhile.
