I agree, and the more we hear "being off his medication," but he was able to purchase the rifles", the worse it's going to be.

Anyone catch the story on the news about the lady who accidentally discharged her gun in the bathroom at the AMC Southroads in Tulsa? She shot herself in the hand...no one else injured. The gun was unholstered in her purse and she reached in and accidentally shot it while reaching in to grab something...

People like that make me sick, even if he isn't right in the head. I hope he gets locked up for a long as possible and gets a horny bunkmate.
