The story is real, but let's look at it a little.
The Shooter was kicked out of the Army for many infractions some dealing with guns, so we have a guy whose own family says he always had emotional
issues, but they are pushing PTSD to try and explain it. I would find it interesting to actually find out what he did in the military, for just being
in the military and going to Iraq doesn't mean PTSD. I was in the military for 28 years and been in everything and I do not have it, so I find those
that do tend to come from the environment of heavy fighting and that is actually a much smaller number of our military personal than many would
think.
The other side of this is the screaming to remove the newly passed law that guns can be carried in national parks. Well this guy law or no law he
most likely would not have cared, and I can tell you that I AWAYS have a gun when I take my family camping. There are some nasty animals out there
that I would protect my family from, AND more importantly it's the best place for some crazy bastard to kill since cell phone don't work and most
people are completely defenseless and isolated.
I personally see this as a good reason why we should have the right to carry..... This guy is a great example of "the crazy bastard" also there are
huge numbers of protected pot farms out there that could be very bad for anyone unarmed and isolated to stumble across.
