This is a very likely scenario.  I also think it's quite possible he was just there to visit (have sex) with his girlfriend and after being caught by her angry parents, got pissed, shot them, and when he realized what he had done, tried to kill himself.  The reason he had a gun is because he carries one around anyways.  Keep in mind there are people who do that, carry concealed weapons around as a matter of course.  Wouldn't surprise me if shooter comes from such a family and even if they didn't give him his own personal gun, they probably owned many and didn't notice if one was missing. [/quote]

Do people on NeoNazi websites tend to support gun ownership? Is it possible that he was ENCOURAGED, politically, to have a gun and keep it with him? [/b]Is it possible that someone told him Reston, with its diverse population, is particularly dangerous?[/quote]

I think that it's more likely that the type of person who is drawn to neo-nazism is the same type of person who is drawn to gun ownership (and no I'm not saying all gun owners are neo-nazis!)[/quote]

Oh please you people are just stupid. You had a sixteen year old girl with probably the first ever boy to tell her she was everything to him. They were in love
She could probably give two f s about his beliefs, she is sixteen and in love. Romeo and Juliet  Jesus, first love us powerful.  This was t about politics. Prayers for the families. [/quote]

Uh, the comments you quoted are not discussing the girls motives, but what drove the boy toward gun ownership and violence.  We don't know that politics had an influence, but we don't know it didn't.  NeoNazism is (I hope) still a pretty bizarre outlier. When it shows up at all, I would not dismiss it as a factor in whatever happened. [/quote]

Because everything is about guns to you people. Just stop. [/quote]

while i personally support gun control, I have come to accept that American attitudes toward guns are what they are, and change will happen only at the margins.  I am much more concerned about the normalizing of NeoNazism (or just Nazism) in America.   None of my comments to this thread have been about guns per se, but about Nazism.[/quote]
