All terrorists are Muslim but not all Muslim are terrorists - same precept applies here I think.

I am a little unclear how a man that was involuntarily committed and with his criminal record was able to 'legally' purchase a gun. 
Like I said ... they were nut jobs to begin with .... that's how they ended up on SSRIs ... I would be willing to bet that it's more likely that they stopped taking the meds and that (putting my tin foil hat back on) combined with someone purposely pushing them caused this.
Is this story breaking news that the weapon used was a Hi-Point?

ATF Form 4473 Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes a determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that you are a danger to yourself or to others or are incompetent to manage your own affairs) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
So much for that.
I have to be honest, I never really thought about that question much but apparently it's the "honor system"?

Well doesnt this make second mass shooter in a couple month who failed to get caught by the background check.I am a little unclear how a man that was involuntarily committed and with his criminal record was able to 'legally' purchase a gun.
Only mental institution i was in was public schoolATF Form 4473 Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective (which includes a determination by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that you are a danger to yourself or to others or are incompetent to manage your own affairs) OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?

Ever since the theater shooter's picture was published in the paper, I've had the feeling that I should know him; but the name just didn't ring any bells for me. I made the connection today while playing golf with a neighbor. Our subdivision has a public golf course included in the property. It seems as if the shooter was a regular golfer here. Everyone except me seemed to know him by name. I'm sure I must have passed him on the course many times. Guess that's why I knew the face; but not the name.

So let me get this straight... he hated liberals, women, gays, blacks, politicians, the media, and the state of America. So in response, he drives two states away, stops in a random town, goes to a movie and shoots 9 people, murdering two young straight, white people. In 2008, a Georgia judge ordered him detained for a mental evaluation after relatives claimed he was a danger to himself and others. But the judge said she didn't have him involuntarily committed and of course, he passed the infamous background check.
I see. DEFINITELY the gun's fault.
