re: #143 Mich-again

Everyone they interviewed.. family, neighbors, school mates that knew him talked talked about how as long as they remembered he was a recluse, no friends, anti social, uncontrolled outbursts,took the divorce really hard.. It was no secret to mom that he had some serious issues. Having guns around was disgraceful on her part.

First of all I don’t trust what is being said at this point. I have heard he suffered from Asperger’s which is very different from being “nuts” as you put it. Not even sure if that is true. But reclusive loner children who take divorce hard are a dime a dozen in a nation where roughly half marriages end in divorce.
Ultimately I do not believe anyone should have a gun in their home. Period. But to hold a divorced parent of a difficult child to a different standard than any other parent is in my opinion over the top particularly when we don’t have the info to back it up. Perhaps she had a gun locker or safe. There has been no information on that. So when you say things as fact, which cannot at this time been known as fact I don’t believe it adds to the discussion. When you say she didnt care enough without any real information to back it up I think it lacks credibility.
