Just months after he left the base he was out had a shooting and they said it was a returned soldier suffering from PTSD. Very scary.
I think a lot more research needs to be done to effectively treat PTSD.
And yeah, gun laws can be changed but I doubt very much that they will be.
And apparently the shrinks the kid saw thought his problems were depression, possibly tied to his aspergers. His manifesto says over and over how sad he was. I don't think he was on any meds. And when the cops came to visit him they didn't suspect him of anything other than being sad.
