Just goes to show even trained Psychologists and doctor's cannot truly tell what on a person's mind unless they display emotions or actions out of the ordinary , in this case , nothing comes to show he as set out to commit a very tragic crime .
Pretty sure anyone including my self will hold a firearm they have never owned or used to see how fit and feel in weight, balance and comfort for their personal use would exhibit the same as in the video as well exhibit same motions and conversation while conducting any such type transaction.
The fact he was admitted for the night in Jan for mental distress , really should arise red flags with health professionals as to or is this person a danger to himself or the general public , those questions are not asked , if they own firearms , have such licence to obtain one .
I can possibly see changes coming to the health Care act on this as to notify police immediately about such things and then steps taken forward to then remove any such items from that person's home or property along with suspension of licencing to obtain any such firearms or ammo as a deterrent to avoid any such possible case like this again, but as most of us know if a person is set on committing a crime with firearm there are other ways to obtain them unfortunately . He just went about it the legal way with a very unsound mindset as to do what ever it took to purchase it .
Unfortunate thing here is he killed his family , this is why there's a inquiry for most part , there are veterans/first responders who take their lives without hurting anyone else and no one is any more aware than the next person might hear a small piece on the news but most times not . Most times it's the families left behind to try deal with the grief and in answered questions as why it all happened , when we all perfectly know there's cracks in the system that can easily be fixed but government are tight on the purse strings to allocate funds , and waiting lists are most times months long , I personally know of people who were told could be a yr or more to get into counselling .
