   Yeah, it had absolutely nothing to do with his wack job of a mother and his upbringing centered around paranoia and guns.

   Funny. I was bullied as a teenager, I’ve played video games (some of them violent) for years, I’m a firearms enthusiast… and I’ve never been in so much as a fistfight, and the thought of actually harming another living creature (especially a fellow human), except in cases of great need, makes me sick.
   I guess my (single) mom did a better job of raising me than most….

   The latest speculation is that his mother was filing court papers to have him committed and that made him really angry.

   So many “experts” sending us in so many directions with contradictory studies and conflicting ideas as to cause and cure of a problem, and we, in our ignorance, jump on the cause or cure that best fits our personal beliefs as gospel and vociferously preach that gospel and call all others heretics. We certainly are a rational race of beings!?

   The problem really is Congress’ refusal to fund any program for treatment of the mentally ill. Easier to act shocked and talk evil about gun owners than to actually spend money alleviating the problems caused by Congress’ inaction. I suppose it’s because crazy people don’t make “campaign contributions” or hire K Street lobbyists.

   Maybe it’s the colors everybody’s wearin
   Maybe it’s the President, maybe it’s the last one
   Maybe it’s the one before that, what he done
   Maybe it’s the high schools, maybe it’s the teachers
   Maybe it’s the tattooed children in the bleachers
   Maybe it’s the Bible, maybe it’s the lack
   Maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s the crack
   Maybe it’s the hairdos, maybe it’s the TV
   Maybe it’s the cigarettes, maybe it’s the family
   Maybe it’s the fast food, maybe it’s the news
   Maybe it’s divorce, maybe it’s abuse
   Maybe it’s the lawyers, maybe it’s the prisons
   Maybe it’s the Senators, maybe it’s the system
   Maybe it’s the fathers, maybe it’s the sons
   Maybe it’s the sisters, maybe it’s the moms
   Maybe it’s the radio, maybe it’s road rage
   Maybe El Nino, or UV rays
   Maybe it’s the army, maybe it’s the liquor
   Maybe it’s the papers, maybe the militia
   Maybe it’s the athletes, maybe it’s the ads
   Maybe it’s the sports fans, maybe it’s a fad
   Maybe it’s the magazines, maybe it’s the internet
   Maybe it’s the lottery, maybe it’s the immigrants
   Maybe it’s taxes, big business
   Maybe it’s the KKK and the skinheads
   Maybe it’s the communists, maybe it’s the Catholics
   Maybe it’s the hippies, maybe it’s the addicts
   Maybe it’s the art, maybe it’s the sex
   Maybe it’s the homeless, maybe it’s the banks
   Maybe it’s the clearcut, maybe it’s the ozone
   Maybe it’s the chemicals, maybe it’s the car phones
   Maybe it’s the fertilizer, maybe it’s the nose rings
   Maybe it’s the end, but I know one thing.
   If it were up to me, I’d take away the guns.

    You mean there actually is something called evil? Well then let’s just ban evil. Congress should make evil illegal.
    That’ll do it!

    Seriously, there is an answer to this.
    His name is Jesus Christ.

    ^which begs the question,
    
    what kind of assault weapon would jesus christ own? would he own more than one? who would he shoot with it? would he shoot to kill, or just to wound? How big a magazine would he own? Hollowpoint bullets?
    
    Please tell us narrowminded, since you speak for the christ? we would all really like to know.
