It’s so hard to make sense of such a tragedy.
Already the talking heads on cable news shows are making this into a new debate about gun control. So are some politicians.
There are so many laws already on the books regarding guns.
I know we’re not supposed to profile people, but this guy was apparently a disaffected clinically depressed, socially isolated person. The same could be said of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold from Columbine.
Maybe, just maybe, we should try better to deal with such people. There were warning signs with this guy in Virginia. His creative writings had such a dark streak that he was referred to counseling.
Maybe, just maybe, we should be talking about some of those issues of depression, social isolation, etc. rather than reviving the gun control debate.
I bet that dude was in violation of a dozen different gun laws, and he didn’t give a *** that he was in violation of the law.
Did his roomate know he had 2 guns?
You are of course completely mistaken. It was the gun that made him kill. If he had not been able to purchase an automatic weapon in a supermarket, he would probably be researching Mother’s Day presents right now, and maybe sipping an dult beverage with pizza.
“Maybe, just maybe, we should be talking about some of those issues of depression, social isolation”
He does fit the profile.
The news says he was on anti-depressants, too.
