The weapon came into my possession right after Dariek had a bad night. Voices from his stereo speakers had kept him awake, talking to him, telling him to blow his girlfriend's brains out. He had fought valiantly to ignore the voices but feared the next time he heard them he might not be as strong.Right, Monroe. Blame guns. And repeat bogus lies about the origins of the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, don't take steps to force your headcase brother into involuntary treatment, and leave him free to wreak whatrever havoc he wishes with boxcutters, or ammonium nitrate or gasoline.
HZ, who sent me the link to this story raises an interesting point, what with Monroe writing for an Illinois paper. Did he keep the gun and does he have an FOID? I also wonder if he lived in Illinois at the time of the transfer from an Indiana resident, and abided with the requirements of GCA '68.

I also kind of wonder about the kid brother buying that gun. With a military discharge for mental illness, he should have been unable to purchase that gun.
The author acts as though mental illness is ignored, but it's just not as effectively found in background checks due to privacy issues. The gun was likely purchased illegally, then transferred illegally.
