Yes, there are also people who put up websites saying the earth is flat.

Good example, inasmuch as the earth *isn't* (perfectly) round...

I've heard flat earthers insist the world IS round but flat and that's
not unnatural - after all so is a pizza....not sure how serious or
otherwise they were though my suspicion is that most of them know but
keep up the front.

I saw an article from the Daily Mail reviewing social media criticism of
how seemingly concerned the RCMP has been about the, er, gunperson's
pronouns, with little or no empathy for victims who were generally
children. Even the murdered stepbrother, at the initial crime scene, was
11 years old. I thought that the entire point of a homicide
investigation is that police, forensic pathologists, and prosecutors are
there to speak for the dead as they are no longer able to speak for
themselves. In this case, the police are speaking for the murderer.

Very well said!

And I'd really like to know where the guns came from. Did the family
just keep them at home despite knowing what "she" was like?

And THAT is the $64000 question right?

Second Amendment notwithstanding if you have a mentally unstable
person living or visiting in your home YOU not the state are
responsble for securing the weapons and if you can't do that within
your home you have a civic duty to remove the weapons from your home.
And I would impose a "strict responsibility" on that (which is a legal
term meaning 'if you fail to do so and something goes wrong, you're responsible no ifs ands or buts")

And I would argue there should definitely be legal sanctions if you
the gun owner fail in that duty.

Basic civics - and that SHOULDN'T be an issue of constitutional
rights.

I'd say the shooter definitely enforced the strict responsibility - by inflicting capital punishment on the gun owner - who was his mother.

(I'm assuming she was the owner but if you know different, please
correct me!)

Verily, in article <o54gqk94dnmd69fmtqj79nbcqiaoilg9qe@4ax.com>, did lcraver@home.ca deliver unto us this message:

I recently encountered a theory that nobody today could *really* believe
the Earth is flat, and so people who profess that belief are really
trying to impose their will on reality itself.

I like that theory. It's like narrativization run amok.
