But isn’t this proof that gun control is a FAIL. I’m betting he didn’t have a permit. So there was gun control, this guy didn’t follow the gun control rules. Gun control only controls people who will not cause a problem by breaking the law. Why would you have a law that is for people with no intention of breaking the law?
The killer evidently purchased the guns legally...despite the fact that he was already living in a sort of sheltered residence for the mentally ill (which was where he killed the first three victims, with a knife). It was an apartment where he had been placed by his therapists and parents with three other mentally ill men.
At what point does diagnosed mental illness become something that a gun dealer can check so that he doesn’t sell a gun to somebody like this?
