If you cant label shootings a mental health issue then you also cant screen for mental health for purchasing, permitting and carrying guns at all. In other words Mike, you cant have it both ways.
If mentally unstable disturbed individuals weren't exposed to this totally sick culture of glorifying gun violence, often exacerbated by their own scorned mothers who see the gun culture as a type of justification for their deep-seated penis envy, and are stupid enough to take these offspring to shooting ranges as a type of therapy, maybe we could all just be normal individuals who love to learn. Sports. Cycling. Mountaineering. Climbing. LaCrosse. Literature. Concerts. Football. Baseball. Soccer. Car shows. Extreme driving exhibitions.
It seems to me that a person must have completely lost their way to espouse this irrational and destructive path and culture of violence and confrontation. Wake the fuck up! You guys have dived off of the last log into oblivion and meaninglessness.

I'm glad to see that you agree with me....this isn't a gun problem, it's a society problem. Liberal experiments in self esteem and instant gratification, have reared a generation unable to cope with criticism or responsibility.

Sorry FJ, I cant agree with your suggesting that now women who enter the shooting sports are now compensating like the current paradigm that gun control folk like to accuse men of.

And of course, many normal people also engage in the shooting sports which in addition to being included in the Olympics, is also sponsored by the NCAA,
Thanks Bros for checking in. Words failed me. I was extremely upset about the picture of an over-protective mother actually taking her loner/weirdo son to the firing range in both mass murder cases. Easy availability of multiple guns and large caches of ammo. A picture that I find deeply disturbing. Also, at least in one case, the father is completely out of the picture. Divorce is always sad and will be unpreventable in many cases, but that is no way to raise a child even if the parents do have to separate.
Of course there is such a thing as a healthy approach to shooting sports. But that's not what I see as driving these desperate people.

While I don't know when exactly they started taking their respective sons to the range, keep in mind that both were adults when they committed their crimes. And being adults, they could have easily taken themselves to the range. It can be a challenge to have an adult child living with you because they rightfully get certain rights as adults that you aren't used to them having. I had such issues with one of my sons when he stayed with me, and also had to endure the conflict when I told him it was time for him to leave because he broke one of the few rules I told him about up front. That being no drugs in the house. In essence, they become your roommate, though obviously there is a very close emotional attachment.
