I THINK I KNOW WHY PEOPLE GO CRAZY AND SHOOT UP SCHOOLS, THEATERS, MALLS ETC.
So I have been thinking about this since Newtown. Here is my theory. The shooters are suicidal but lack the motivation and guts to actually commit suicide.

So they do something so awful and so unforgivable like killing children. Then they are left with no choice to go through with the suicide and if they chicken out they can just fire on a cop and know they will be shot and killed.

Just for the record, I am an avid gun collector as of 2 years ago. I own several assault rifles and know that a ban would do nothing. I support arming and protecting our schools.

Before 2 years ago, I was terrified of guns and believed only the government should have them. I know what an idiot. Then I had a child and decided to educate myself about guns and now enjoy the sport of target shooting. I have never felt safer then I do now.

It is easy for me to understand the people that want gun bans. I was them not long ago. They fear guns and have probably never shot one.

They believe assault rifles are more dangerous than shot guns or rifles. I could pre-load 10 clips for my Ruger 10/22 and have 100 rounds ready to go. It takes 2 seconds to change the clip. They don't understand this.

I have a few of the high capacity clips but they are plastic and never work. They always jam even when you hold the clip while shooting to try and keep it feeding properly.

I haven't heard anyone mention this theory on why people choose to kill others instead of just committing suicide.

Yes I always wonder why these types don't just shoot themselves first. You could be right that they need put themselves in a position where they have to. But they also just might be spiteful and wish to actually hurt as many people as they can. Either way its a metal health issue.

I really think it's just a selfish way for them to get up the courage to go through with it.

No, for someone like Adam Lanza, I think it was a desire to destroy something he never had been, was or could be: the kind of child that other people loved and appreciated. Or perhaps since he knew his mother was going to put him in a mental institution, he wanted to wreak vengeance against society, and planned that, should he be in danger of being caught and judged by society, he would commit suicide. I don't think suicide was his motive. Suicidal people lack the motivation to get out of bed many times. To think that someone who wanted to just end it all would go through all of that trouble is a little hard to believe. Now if he had just grabbed his rifle and a couple of mags and run to a busy intersection and started firing at cars and cops, then I would say he was suicidal.

No, I think the motive was a big "Screw You" to--to his mother, his town?? I don't know. But that was one methodically rage-driven person. He would have tried to kill those children with a vehicle or a molotov cocktail or a simple handgun. Remember that the Dunblane killing in Scotland was worse-26 kids, I think--and was all done by a guy with a handgun.

You're probably right I guess someone who really enjoyed killing would want to stick around to enjoy it some more.

Several possibilities...
1) government sponsored death squads with drugged/mind-controlled manchurian killers programmed to kill themselves or killed by the death squads and left at the scene.

2)Demonic spirits possessing weak-minded vulnerable people

Both with the same goal...disarm the citizens so they can't fight back against what is coming.
