Another soldier with PTSD goes berserk and kills

Wordslinger wrote:This is one of the penalties we pay for misusing American soldiers in obscene, unending and unnecessary wars where we occupy foreign nations and expose our troops to the hatred produced by mass victimization.

And it doesn't matter much, it would seem, whether the berserk killers are Christian or Muslim -- Ford Hood proves that.

The latest massacre once again suggests that there should be Federal laws making it more difficult to obtain firearms -- much more rigorous investigation into the mental condition of applicants.

But this won't happen -- because the NRA (the gun manufacturer's number one lobbying entity) doesn't want even unstable crazies to be denied the inalienable right to buy a gun and kill at random.

Reality!!

Never saw combat, how do you get PTSD...without being in combat?

His Mother and Grandfather had died within the past year which, friends have said, affected him greatly.

Then Wordslinger seems to think MORE GUN LAWS would have prevented someone in the Army from getting a gun.

He killed himself AFTER he was confronted with an armed security officer.

Sorry the meds are taking their toll.  I hope you're comfortable.

How true, and thanks to the NRA, everyone of them can buy a handgun or some other firearm at will.

I'm confused by your response -- are you advocating that nothing should be done to deny mentally unstable individuals from obtaining firearms?

The answer is always more guns.

The only thing that'll stop a mentally disturbed soldier with a gun is a base full of mentally disturbed soldiers with guns, duh.

All the armchair psychoanalysis of this guy is ridiculous. He is a murderer who is now dead. Saves a lot on the legal system.

Guns are necessary.

We have enough laws in place.

You can't stop stupid. Again...where there's a will there's a way.
