There is more to the story.

My question is,

What can we as a society do, to try and prevent things like this from happening in the first place?

Nothing. You can't stop everything evil and horrible from happening, unfortunately, and there's no possible society-level prevention of every single potential disgusting thing that could happen. Hopefully he'll be put away for a long time and at least not have a chance to do anything like this again.

A judge would have to be crazy to let him out on bail.

Not many ideas eh......

I had really hoped things would be a little more lively.

Nope... I'm afraid that I have no great ideas to offer to prevent people from sometimes doing insane things. At least, no reasonable ideas. Extermination of the entire human race might work?

We could maybe require background checks for those expressing a wish to buy freezers. I don't know if it would help or not but hey, it couldn't hurt.

I would be a nice useless gesture that could probably make it through Congress -- if it has almost unanimous public backing.

The NFA would be opposed.

If freezers are outlawed...

Besides, I'm not comfortable with Uncle Sam knowing that I've got a freezer. I built my freezer from spare parts so it wouldn't have a serial number. That baby's got three 30 pound freon magazines. I'm ready for the coming Zombie Apocalypse.
