Guns.

He clearly had personal issues with Kirk. Dowd might have been more on the mark about the shooters motives than even he knew.

The person chose gun violence, but not likely because of some left wing indoctrination, but simply because of how he was raised. Only most people don't see this type of childhood as dangerous. No matter how many school shootings include raised in a household where guns availability was taken for granted.

The actual psychological profile will likely be as complex as I figured it was going to be. Although, I think he is likely not clinically insane. We will probably hear much more before the trial. The whole situation is sad. These situation always are.
