When the shooting first occurred, a business acquaintance was asking me (politely) about the usual gun control issues that usually arise after an incident of this sort. I answered all his questions (politely) and then mentioned to him that I would not be surprised to discover that the shooter was being treated for mental health issues and possibly medicated for same.
IIRC, quite of few of the perpetrators of these mass shootings in recent years had similar histories which strangely never get mentioned in the MSM.

I’m not at all surprised. These things just don’t happen without the perp having a major history of mental problems or ideological issues, like Major Hasan. In either case they almost all give warnings. I’ve also disagreed with other posters here who’ve said ABC got it wrong when they quoted Holmes’ mother as saying Holmes was the shooter. Once again, I strongly suspect his family knew he had a record of schizophrenia that made him likely to do something like this and successfully concealed his condition until he did it. His mother, caught by surprise, blurted out the truth. Later on, knowing the legal risk to the entire family, she lawyered up and changed her story. DUH, SURPRISE!!

We need nut control, not gun control.
