All veterans suffer from PTSD in some form or other. (Soon you will see many professionals putting forth this particular meme to set the stage.)
Why? Because a high majority of veterans support the 2nd Amendment AND own guns. And if you make it illegal for anyone suffering PTSD from owning a gun you take out a major portion of private gun ownership in one fell swoop!
There is already a meme reportedly by several major news outlets in the last few days that 22 Veterans commit suicide everyday: 22 Vets Commit Suicide Everyday.
Never let a crisis go to waste!
Not only that, but it is just as likely, possibly much more likely that the suspect’s symptoms were from serious mental illness (the biochemical kind like bi-polar or schizophrenia) than they were from PTSD.
He’s the perfect age (25) for onset, has suicidal/homicidal ideation, reports severe mental distress, all of which could easily be more symptomatic of a developing psychosis as PTSD, especially if he’s been self medicating with alcohol or drugs.
But the media isn’t going to look at the mental illness angle, they instead focus on the “vets are trained killers and dangerous to society / military service is bad for mental health” meme.
This tragedy is just another brick in their wall of propaganda.
