GRIZ22 said:He was a US Army veteran. Doesn't say if he was a Ranger, cook, finance clerk or whatever. There are many veterans who are criminals. I can't see why being a veteran (I'm one) should give you any breaks in the criminal justice system. Physcological tests for things like Special Forces concentrate a lot on ability to think independently and not likely to abuse your position just like police tests do. The article quotes he had poor stress tolerance, judgement, impulse control, and immaturity. Any one of those things would prevent you from being selected for Special Forces or the police department and they should.
Very well said, and as a veteran, I agree 100%.
What I'm having a hard time with here is that we--as gun owners--collectively raise hell about "enforce the existing (gun) laws that we have instead of just adding new ones!"
And then, when EXACTLY that happens, as it did in NYC, we whine and make this psycho out to be some sort of a victim.
In doing so, we become our own worst enemy. If we as gun-owners will not police our own, then don't be surprised when the anti-gunners step in and do it.
