Your cognitive dissonance aside, Dorner wrote what he wrote.

And he was not "a kid." He was a grown man and a member of the LAPD. He was a power-monger with delusions of grandeur. There is nothing inconsistent with an egomaniac amassing weapons while demanding others be rendered helpless. The last thing an egomaniac wants is for others to be on an equal footing. It's what draws the sociopaths to government power and badges.

Can you or can you NOT drive a Nascar or Formula One car on the streets? VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #32

When it comes to guns, "on the street" is code for "what you can own". beevul May 2014 #35

You can own it.....but as soon as you try to use it....even at a race track...You ARE regulated! VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #50

No. Just no. beevul May 2014 #70

Yes...Just yes.... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #71
