Then why in hell didn’t she have her guns locked up where the kid could not get to them, knowing how unstable he was and has been for along time???

This sort of reminds me of that scene from the M. Night Shyamalan movie “The Village” (2004):

The crazy kid Noah runs out of the house wearing the bogeyman costume, pursing the (blind) heroine Ivy Walker, who is on a quest to find medicine outside the village to heal Lucius, her sweetheart whom Noah has knifed. Noah has found under the floorboards of a house the bogeyman costume, which Village elders wear when patrolling the perimeter of their small community, to frighten and keep curious youngsters within the town limits. The bogeyman costume serves as a sort of weapon (arms). The Village was created by the elders who were fleeing (armed) violence in the outside world; all of them had at least one loved one who was the victim of violent crime.

How the hell do you or any other rumor monger in the press, know that she didn't? You are basing this information on the press who for several days said that she was a teacher of one the classrooms that was shot up.
