Monday now, the Aspergers angle has gone totally viral, being discussed everywhere. Lots of articles and "experts" now coming out.

The LEOs have not released much info so the autism angle is one of the only aspects ppl are able to grab onto to try to characterize the shooter.

It is mushrooming out there. Hopefully autism will gain broader accurate awareness but the hysteria level right now is high.

Not to mention the "doomsday prepper gun" angle being bandied.

Gun laws and control will do nothing to prevent these events. As I have posted elsewhere, the half of the country that just voted Republican were voting against any gun regulation and against both medical and mental healthcare being a right not a privilege for the wealthy among us. So they need to SHUT THE HE11 UP.
Free access to mental health care would go much further in preventing these types of events than any new gun laws. Its easier and cheaper to buy an gun in the USA than get medical treatment for a mental health condition.. This country has serious issues when Gun Rights are more important that Rights to healthcare...

Now is THE WORST TIME to tell people you're neurodeviant. I still am trying to find news about possible gun bans for AS people.
