Family of shooter: "He was crazy as hell...a ticking timebomb".

[elehhhhna]

This is the state of America today.

Desperate stressed unhinged brokeass american dude with an arsenal predictably shoots the crap out of as many people as possible.

Is something wrong with this picture? If so, what? Extra points if your answer is concise.

1. I know! I know!

How does a guy like that get guns?

[Amak8]

2. Because background checks are more extensive on an apartment application.

*rimshot*

[Skittles]

3. because the NRA pimps for ANYONE getting a gun

then it pimps for the REST OF US to be ARMED to PROTECT OURSELVES. See how that works?

[KG]

10. they claim gun aren't the problem, but we all need one. the NRA doesn't give a shit

where a gun ends up; terrorist, criminal, nut-bag. it's all the same to them.

[Skittles]

11. CORRECT

[limpyhobbler]

4. It's sad that I have to ask which of the 3 recent rampage killers you are refering too.

That's one thing wrong with the picture.

[LeftofObama]

5. Now this is just sad.......

When I read your post title my first thought was, which shooter? Aurora, The Sikh temple, A&M? Sad that there are so many that we have to ask which one.

9. Sadly, it's probably true for most, including a bunch with guns who haven't started shooting yet.

6. If he's broke, how can he afford an arsenal of guns?

Or is that the reason he is broke?

(Or does the NRA issue vouchers for those unable to afford guns?)

12. Maxed Out Their Credit Cards on Guns and Ammo

[appleannie1]

7. Even crazy people can get guns and ammo legally because of the lack of regulations and thorough back

ground checks.

8. I'm sorry, but the 2nd Amendment trumps everything. Fuck our personal safety and the right

to life, liberty, and happiness.

FUCK THE NRA.

13. Maaaaybe,

He needed access to proper mental healthcare, a decent living wage and job security, and an economic system that wasn't designed to ass rape him from cradle to grave. That way, when you make all the guns go away you have a healthy productive member of society instead of a "ticking time bomb" without a gun.
