No actually, Jordan's "theory" is closer to something that Wojtek said earlier: this is aberrant behavior, guns don't magically make people homicidal. A few people blow a gasket now and again and kill a handful of people, for reasons that don't seem to make much sense and don't seem to fall into much of a pattern. Get over it!

So maybe change your Subject: line from "bad psychology" to "bad guess" ...?
