The shooter who killed five co-workers at a Louisville, Kentucky, bank this month left two very extensive notes – one in his home and one found on him after police killed him in a shootout, according to two law enforcement sources.

 

The notes reveal that part of the shooter’s goal was to show how easy it was in America for someone dealing with a serious mental illness to buy an assault-style weapon, the sources said.

 

The gunman purchased the AR-15-style rifle seven days before the April 10 shooting and under Kentucky law he was only required to fill out a form for the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and to undergo an FBI records check to ensure he was not a felon or the subject of a court-imposed restraining order.

Mentally ill people have the right to defend themselves from bad guys with guns too.

Half of America could have CTE and this is bad. So how are Americans going to protect themselves and their families? Let the governments do it? Who are getting rid of cops as the crime rate is soaring. If the judges were more strict on the laws and locked the criminals up, perhaps things would be better.
