A guy has a history of mental health issues. His Mom kept guns in the house, one of them particularly useful for human slaughter. The guy believes Mom is going to have him institutionalized, the guy lashes out in about as gut wrenching a way as can be.

The lesson is not that men have been emasculated or that men aren't emasculated enough...it's that you need to keep weapons away from mentally ill people.

And maybe take some of those cops busting pot heads and post them at schools.

Oh well, people that make a living as gaseous windbags are certainly going to make hay with this horror - I say Fuck 'em
