Welcome to America!
More guns for everyone, including the criminally insane.
Remember folks. Guns don't kill people. Americans with guns kill people. Nothing like thinning the herd.

Thankfully law enforcement were armed to deal with another crazed lib criminal.

We finally have the culprit! I'm blaming God. That's the root cause and has been responsible to millions (if not billions) of deaths on Earth.

"Claimed he could communicate directly with God." This is literally what thousands of priests and clergy do every Sunday. Is it the sign of a mental illness?

Funny how there isn't a mention of him being RADICALIZED by the Republitan in the headline or article.

Agreed 100% , but which god? (small g [sic])
The world is plagued by nutters that believe that their sky wizard is better than the next person's sky wizard. Just as deluded as the anti-vax morons.
BTW... only one thing to do with a plague... Eradicate it.

So many issues here, PTSD, easy access to weapons and meth addiction.
It brings to the important point President Biden raised, sending soldiers to war zones has a long lasting impact.
My sympathies for all the innocents who died.

RIP to any innocents slaughtered by a person with a gun. Salute law enforcement and emergency medical personnel for their roles.
US familicide is not uncommon, but made more dangerous because of how easy it is to get guns, especially semi-automatic weapons, some perhaps similar to those used by the shooter in Iraq andAfghanistan.

This is so sad and heart breaking, feel so sorry for all the victims, WARS create Anger, Anxiety, Hate and much more. so many veterans are left without the proper care and help they need and the results can be devastating on society.

Replace “year” with “day” and you’re much closer to the mark.

Right America, just keep pumping those guns into a sick society and babbling some baloney about the second amendment, which doesn't say what you think it says.

Because I go to Walmart, I'm not worried about a gang shooting because I am not in that business. I don't go to any dark alley. But when I visit Walmart or in a nightclub with armed security this could affect me. Mass shootings in public places that should be safe is a big problem.

Sadly, violence and mental illness among veterans is a silent epidemic. You can't spend years conditioning someone to kill on sight and then bring 'em home and just say "Okay, start having respect for human life again".
But making mental health services affordable and available is socialism, so i guess this is just how it has to be to keep our freedoms.

Police should have been there already. Why did they have to discover it by "chance" when the lunatic was already at the same home threatening to kill earlier?

So you woke up. Did a quick Google search for his picture to check the race. Noticed he wasn't white so your go-to white supremacy thing is out the window. Next looked at the State and much to your satisfaction happened in a red state so had to rush here to say that. No RIPs or sympathy for the dead victims by a crazy man strickened by ptsd. Instead you choose to make everything political and seems like you are dancing on the grave of the victims.

When America invades,occupying and murdering the people of other country, you will get PTSD and these crazy people will done the same thing on your own country and your own people! This guy his soul was left behind in Iraq & Afghanistan, he couldn't realize his war was over but keep shooting people like he used to be!
This is Karma!

with another crazed lib criminal.
