the mother bought the weapons. I mention the video games because he liked to play them, which means he modeled shooting, spent hours imagining that he was doing that and living that as a reality in his twisted mind. for a normal kid, no problem, but this guy had aspergers, a personality disorder that makes him disassociate with other humans. He had no empathy. so when you combine a kid with violent outbursts and tantrums with someone who practices shooting people for fun, and doesn't really see other humans as people, you have someone who is a time bomb. you don't give timebombs guns. mom should have known better. there should not have been guns in that household.
100% agree. So now we know that people can't be trusted to make a wise decision about having guns in their household. Unfortunately, too many people are stupid, selfish, or in denial. So what can we as a society do to keep guns out of these "timebomb" households???
