23. I'm sorry, but murdering innocent people is not something a mentally healthy person does.

Certainly not over any possible beef a person might have with an employer. Nor is suicide by someone who is in good physical health. I regard the murderer's behavior in this incident as positive proof that he was severely mentally ill, and I think his death is as tragic as those of his victims. He didn't get help that could have saved his life and those of others. Mental illness kills people. I've seen it happen way too many times.

Gee, I thought there were laws in most states that prevented mentally ill folks from getting guns.

All 50 states and the federal government have laws that make it illegal for any person to transfer a firearm to someone that they know, or have reason to believe, has been adjudicated by a court of law as mentally incompetent.

Most mentally ill people are never adjudicated as incompetent, so they have the same Constitutional right to keep and bear arms as everyone else does.
