And theoretically, if Adam had learned that the Feds were confiscating all guns in his area, would that have caused him to snap ? Now imagine Adam times 100,000 and you will see that the progressive idiots are playing with a fire, they do not even understand.
If she was thinking this way, why didn’t she have the guns locked in a safe? When you have someone “near” that is a little “disturbed” the last thing you do is leave guns laying around ... there’s the crime that caused the crime!
I believe he was still taking college classes at a local state college, so it’s possible that she was trying to find some other program to take him. She seems to have been very involved in his schooling, for better or for worse. And if she wanted to be able to control his college living situation, etc., she would have to have a legal power of attorney of some kind.
However, I suppose it’s also possible that she was looking into hospitalization, although this is so hard to do, especially with a young person (even if he had had a long track record of bizarre behavior), that I’m not sure how she planned to do it.
She had apparently also just spent the weekend in New Hampshire at a resort without him, leaving him at home by himself for the weekend, so it doesn’t seem as if she felt he was in need of supervision or institutionalization.
Having a mentally ill child is very hard even on the best of couples. It’s quite possible that they disagreed over how to take care of their son. Nobody has heard anything from the father since this happened, so who knows?
Exactly. If she was trying to have him committed, we can say in hindsight she was clearly trying to do the right thing.
