35. People like this are statistical outliers.

It's a good goal to reduce the number of incidents like this but not a good idea to shape policy around them. It's much better to look at the far, far larger number of people whose lives have been ended or screwed up by our gun policies in ordinary ways that don't hit the national headlines and try to do something about that.

There's a saying, "hard cases make bad law." Cases involving insane berserk people probably don't make good law either.

Also: don't decide to not homeschool your kids because they might shoot you someday. Avoid homeschooling your kids because it's not good for them.
