[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 1692142, member: 52145"] Austrailia use to have a lot of mass killings until they clamped down hard on gun ownership. now I think they have had only one in last 20 years. Usually, but not always, these disturbed people give off many warning signs which investigators find after the fact such as social media rants and friends and family noticing strange behavior. years ago we had a happy go lucky feeder driver who appeared to "darken" very quickly after a bad divorce, losing his house, and more frequent problems with management. his closest friend told me that he was threatening to bring a gun to work and kill a couple bosses. his friend blew him off but I called the hotline and reported it after notifying a feeder supe who blew me off. not sure what came of it but this driver quit a few months later ( only in 30's ) and moved 3000 miles away. his old buddy told me he has been doing very well since he moved away from his ex. so this was a close call that didn't happen. maybe there are a thousand of them before one actually loses it. we need to be more proactive when we see the warning signs and have these people talked to and checked out. cost a lot of money but better safe than sorry. every time this happens I cry for the families. now I don't watch the news stories anymore.
