[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 2293715, member: 10585"] Or maybe he did it because he was nuts. Right now we have two groups arguing about how/why this happened. One group says it is because our gun laws make it easy for people to purchase firearms. Another says it is because the base was a gun free zone. Both of those contributed to this, however the biggest factor in almost all mass shootings is the shooters mental health. Nobody on either side want to look past their argument and attempt to come up with a solution for the lack of mental health services. As far as weapons used the most consistent thing I have read was he started with a shotgun then grabbed a pistol from an injured/possibly dead security guard/cop. Even an NBC blog said he only showed up with a shotgun and grabbed the other guns.
