AP somehow overlooked the fact that, the same day as this shooting, over 80,000,000 US gun owners didn't shoot anyone. Guess they didn't have room for that story...

Actually, the way I took the story is that the anti-malarial drug (and other substances used) is the main focus and not the firearm.

Maybe I'm reading it differently (it's a UPI story) but it seems more to be about the effects of a drug that the military administers?

It's not about guns, but the malaria drug these guys are given. SF training is designed to weed out people who can't handle the kind of stress they'll see. I know some current and ex SF guys, and the worst I normally see is that they just don't want to talk about what they've done. So five SF guys from Iraq going psycho is definitely something to look into.

Indeed they didn't have room for that story, given that the story's main focus was on the mind-altering properties of a malaria drug the suicide victim had been taking.

Or did you not bother to actually read the story at all, but rather give a push-button gun-control answer to the headline?
