I mean, since Columbine, the majority of these mass/ terror type killings have been done by young white boys ( DC sniper kid exception ) who's momma and daddy didn't say NO, or tear that ass up if it was needed. I have noticed that the millenials seem to an entitled group of young little snotnoses who apparently feel they deserve more than they got. When life throws them a curve ball they are ill equipped to handle it. This is my 22 year old son's observation of his friends. I work ( but not much longer ) with a bunch of these type folks, unwilling to do what it takes to get a job done but more than willing to delegate someone else to do it and take credit for it. There minds are already primed to be turned into uncaring killers, just add a few chemicals and some suggestions....... tin foil hat going on now.
i mean... i'd really like to hope we wont be put in a situation where Alex Jones starts looking NORMAL?
from what i've read he's been living in a trailer park - which very generally speaking - tend to not house the most .... societally normal members of our communities. if you dont beleive it, check the sex offender registry map of your local mobile home community. the results may shock you. we may come to find out that not only was he busy popping pills, but his ear was also being filled with race based garbage because of who he was hanging out with. hence while i'm a bit dubious of the mancurian canidate aspect you mention. He may well have been influenced by some people who have a HIGHLY skewed sense of what they believe society should be, but i doubt it was driven by guys in black helicopters helping push a political agenda.

please stop categorizing what
criminals may do with guns in the same group as what law abiding CCW holders do with their guns. the two have nothing to do with each other - in fact they are 100% polar opposites. frankly speaking as a CPL holder i'm highly offended that you as a firearms owner cannot see the distinction between the two and would group myself and other CPL holders. you sir should be ashamed of yourself.
if as we've seen a criminal wants to bring a gun into a church, do you REALLY thing some silly sign on the front door saying "no weapons allowed" is going to stop him/her?
i would think a sign stating that "CPL/CHL/CCW holders welcome to carry under state law" would be a much greater deterrent.

i honestly think you've got it in the wrong order. this is - IMHO anyway - clearly a mental illness issue, magnified by substance abuse issue that led to a race based issue.
when you've got someone who's already a little unstable, toss in a drug problem, it can easily lead to someone who can be manipulated by off the wall things that are out in the public arena.
his dad is gonna probably end up in some pretty hot water too from the looks of things - although on backburner at the moment anyway - for providing a firearm to someone who was currently pending felony charges.
i also wonder if any further laws were violated by him acquiring the handgun form his dad out of state. From what i can read Dylann was living in NORTH carolina and his family is still in south carolina. I'm not real familiar with out of state firearm purchases, but it would stand to reason that if NC requires background checks for a license to purchase a handgun, even if they're not required in SC, as a NC resident he would have had to applied for the permit - even in a private transfer, in this case being gifted by a family member.
basically besides the obvious tragedy that happened, there may be a whole host of other firearm laws that were violated.
