    That is a profoundly sad commentary. True, but really sad.

    Trending towards being the military Robert Card. May also be a wife beating pedo, unclear.

    Recent mental health issues. Hears voices in head. Recently threatened to shoot up regional national guard base. Spent weeks in psych hospital this summer. Licensed firearms instructor. Carrying some type of fancy long gun with night visions/lasers/I dunno - crazy and expensive shit.

    - per cbs report

    But how could a person who was just released from a mental health facility get an ar15 and a night scope?

    Rhetorical question

    Such a jackass response. Unfortunately, I’ve come to expect it from you.

    Just move overseas and wash your hands of us.

    Mass shootings are always with assault weapons.

    Ex military and firearms instructor explains the high # of dead and injured. He obviously knew what he was doing

    More anger towards me than towards the domestic terrorist mass shooter.

    Good ol' homegrown domestic terrorist. Can't blame migrants or Muslims for this one.

    As someone with 20+ years of military experience with the AR platform, I think even a mildly trained person could kill/injure this many people. Unless you are shooting at long distance, it's almost too easy to hit the target with these weapons... especially if you aren't worried about getting shot back at.

    Bullcrap. Americans have a right to be angry about this. Our country is unique in its penchant for gun violence and mass shootings.

    Aren't firearms instructors supposed to be the epitome of responsible gun owners? I realize that identity could be mistaken at this point, so maybe it's an errant question. If not though . . . this is bizarre.

    I find it hard to believe that two months went by without a single mass shooting in this country. There are too many nutjobs out there.

    We need a mandatory five year waiting period after separation from service before thanking anyone for it.

    The jackass response is to toss out some bullshit Ts & Ps before promptly burying your head in the sand again when all the while a very clear solution to the problem exists. Sorry you live in a shithole country. If I can get used to living in a country where innocent civilians get indiscriminately mowed down by AR-15s you can get used to us reminding you about the ways in which this country is severely lacking. Deal with it.
