for the record, I've never worked with per capita data in any way, shape, or form, so I readily admit I had no idea how to properly combine that information
irt that article where the lady says she shoulda known:
like, doesn't that seem like the biggest bit of confirmation bias ever? guy with aspergers doesn't get on well at high school, ldo she shoulda known he'd turn into a killer? Really?
This story is sounding oddly familiar to the South Park episode where Stan is diagnosed with aspergers and he meets that group of gun-wielding Matrix wannabes. (No, I am not saying South Park caused this to happen)
irt the idea that we should hold gun owners to strict standards of keeping their **** from getting stolen, well, obviously that doesn't help in this situation
should we perhaps have very tight control/limits in a house with any sort of mentally-handicapped person living there? Like, there must be a trigger lock, gun safe for when/if the handicapped person is left alone in the house, etc.?
irt the post (i forget who made it) that said we should ignore how all the mass shootings seem to happen by the hand of crazies and just focus on the guns, it seems entirely relevant that the guns aren't walking themselves into populated areas and committing crimes. Nor are they being walked in by people with fully-functioning mental capacities. If you want to ignore the crazies in the equation of mass shootings by crazies, then I think it's only fair that gun enthusiasts should get to ignore the shooting part, no?

I think that's a pretty well-documented fact at this point, and I assume it won't change.

in order to protect herself?
Do we know her motives for buying the guns conclusively? Was she just a well-to-do gun enthusiast who had an arsenal? Did she buy them for her son to enjoy?
