  1. Discharged after a month of basic training? He must have been a real screw-up. That fact alone should have alerted authorities?
    Did he purchase his weapons, “legally,” after being discharged?
    By all accounts he owned quite a few.

    Trite, but guns don’t kill people, nuts with guns, , kill lots of people.
