Our friend Beandipshit is clearly an idiot and a malicious one at that, but there's no doubt that he articulates a widely-shared view in the US, where the right to own guns is seemingly more important to many than the right of innocent children not to be murdered. And the mental health aspect is a complete red herring. Sane or insane, this would not have happened if his mother hadn't kept assault weapons around the house. End of.
