What the hell difference does it make how the gun safe is secured??? He OBVIOUSLY was able somehow to get into it. They aren't fucking bank vaults. The point isn't the gun safe but the FACT that she secured her guns in one while so many people ran amok all over DU blaming Mom for having her guns outside of a gun safe when they had NO idea if she used one or not. The point is that she did everything RIGHT as to responsible gun ownership and taking the best care of her disturbed adult son as she could and that he ALLOWED her to know about his mental state including teaching him and his brother responsible gun handling and security.
How is it MOM's fault that a son she had NO CLUE was harboring violent unhinged thoughts responsible for HIS breaking into her gun safe, KILLING HER with them and going on to kill the children and teachers at the school? How is it not HIS fault for hiding his violent unhinged thoughts from everyone including his mother, breaking into her gun safe, murdering her and then murdering the children and teachers at the school? How is it not the country's fault for allowing such weapons to be kept by civilians even if kept securely which we find out by his actions that can't always be kept really secure? No, somehow it's ALL Mom's fault for simply owning the guns, even though she taught her sons to handle and secure them responsibly, secure them responsibly herself in a gun safe and not being clairvoyant to have even an inkling that her mentally disturbed son would kill her and many innocent others.
