More Than Self-Loathing


Assuming things are as reported, it extended to all gun owners, as this plays right into the hands of the grabbers. [More]

You have to wonder if there was a sick motivation to do that. I don't see how there couldn't be.

When my wife and I were still living in Fremont, CA an indoor range suffered a similar event. What the ranges in the SF Bay Area did in response was to cease renting firearms to solo shooters that didn’t bring a firearm with them. To my knowledge there weren’t any more suicides by rented firearm after that.

As I expected, it was a rental. It's been known to happen that a person who can't obtain a gun (personal disability, totalitarian polity, insufficient funds) to commit suicide, rents one at a rental range and does the deed. Assuming reporters follow up, I wouldn't be surprised for us all to learn that this shooting fits this pattern.
