okay sure

but its not gonna stop some nutjob from getting a cheap remmington 700 and posting up somewhere and dropping someone from 800 yards.

I think the phrase they were looking for there was 'shuttered off away from society'.

My understanding is that there are certain types of psychological misfirings in the brain that therapy just can't fix. That is one of them.

People are awful, both the guy that did it and the group that left her behind.
