sorry to hear that..

A lot of people are nuts..I suspect the same amount throughout history. It certainly doesn't require a gun to terrorize people, especially kids. I know you said you didn't want to hear it..seems reasonable response to me. Another reason we need a mental health services overhaul in this country..a means for involuntary commitment without having to first commit a crime would be a good start, and would automatically strip the person the right to own weapons as it is now. I'm sure your father would have been a great and kind human being if it wasn't for the guns..
