I haven’t had "augsburger" syndrome since they stopped brewing it 10 years ago.
Ok enough off color humor; I have been reading so much crazy stuff about this kid all of it can't be true. I ever read yesterday the shooter had some kind of disorder where he could not feel pain? So he burned himself with lighters to try and feel pain? Sounds like this guy was a good candidate for some kind of permanent residential treatment.
Bottom line, the shooter was really mentally screwed up. It could be argued that it was irresponsible for the mother to give a mentally disturbed individual access to her weapons, but she paid the price for that already and I am not one to rag on the departed.
Assault weapons ban or not the law actually "worked". The shooter tried to buy a rifle but reportedly walked off once he learned of the waiting period. This is a case where perhaps the waiting period “worked”.
