I think there is a massive grey area between the possibilities of demons (and yes I believe they exist) and those of mental health. Still, having been through the mental health service a couple of times with my own problems, I'd suggest either way, most are just suffering their own agonies.
I'd speculate one has to agree with a pretty awful thought and let it ferment to do something like this.
Did anyone find it a little weird that he got the gun as his birthday gift?
As a "hunter," I'm not against "guns" as a tool for harvesting wildlife for food;
Society has begun to go down the road lately, of attempting to find ways to "per-determine" a persons potential for wrong doing. Guess what?! We ALL have the potential for wrong doing! We ALL can kill! Yes, even you!! Even me!!
I heard (whether true or not, I don't know) one of the News channels say that he received $400.00 as a gift from his Dad, which he then used, to buy a gun.
Here in CT we are intimately acquainted as you know, with young men having access to guns (in the Newtown case, apparently full access, as a result of his own mother's instruction and approval of his access) and the destructive potential of that access.
Suffice to say, if guns are not available, they cannot be used. They however (guns) are not the only tool that unbalanced or potentially dangerous people can use. They (guns) are just more lethal.
As a "hunter," I'm not against "guns" as a tool for harvesting wildlife for food; but at the same time, I obviously have a problem with access to guns by folks who likely or suspiciously could misuse the privilege of access.
Even a hammer can be lethal........should we outlaw hammers? (one of the arguments out there these days).
In this discussion about the dangerous tools available out there, "I" would argue that the Internet has begun to show its ugly side. Facebook (yes, Facebook) and other forms of information gathering has proven to be destructive as well as Constructive.
There are all sorts of levels of danger and dangerous tools. In the end, the same argument applies I suppose. It's not the tool that is the problem, it is the user.
How does "Satan" tie into all this? He finds ways to destroy lives, with any tool he can find, and any willing participants. The internet; guns; the media; the printed word; so-called friendships..........anything he can.

The ridiculous attempts at pre-determination are akin to the Salem Witch trials. Someone says "I think that person is...." and it festers and becomes (on some level) an accepted idea. People are likely to be swayed to be predisposed to believe a lie.
Yes, you will catch some folks, by per-determination, who might do harm, but other "innocents" will be wrongly accused. Our jails (as it turns out by DNA testing results commonly done now) are FULL of wrongfully accused.
Thank God HE is in charge!! Praise HIM that He IS the one to justify, and rightly judge all mankind!

I'm largely vegetarian and live with folks that are. All the same personally, I can eat meat and certainly have no bad feelings about what you do (even if personally I could not say skin a rabbit). God has said we can eat meat and my own vague take is perhaps the one of "respect". I can get where I think you come from but things like chasing foxes with horses and hounds for fun does cause me problems.
I debate my potential for killing. I know I don't want to do it and believe it's wrong. On the other hand, maybe I could look at David and Uriah. I think while we are responsible, there is a certain "there but for the grace of God go I" about things.
I for one would not like to be profiled. If you considered my history which once included singing rebel songs, childhood with bed wetting problems, diagnosed schizoprenic once, etc. I might ought to be a complete psychopath. But I just want to be a Christian.
If some stranger hurts your child, do you blame yourself or the stranger who hurt the child?
Why would God allow his children to be slaughtered in his house?
