Local news reports Kenneth Matthew Wells, a 32-year-old Laguna Hills resident, went to Evans Gunsmithing Shooters World, located at 1637 N. Brian Street, on Saturday afternoon, Orange police Sgt. Dan Adams told the Orange County Register.What's your opinion? Is the easy rental of handguns contributing to this problem? Should there be better screening before allowing someone to use a rental gun?
A little before 1:30 p.m., other shooters at the firing range saw Wells fall to the ground. He was discovered dead from a single gunshot to the head. Police called to the scene said a suicide note was found in Wells’ pocket. The case is being ruled a suicide, Adams said.
Do you think this was one of those "determined" suicides? He wrote a note, went to the range, rented a gun and then blew his brains out. It would be hard to deter a guy like that, wouldn't it?
But most suicides aren't committed by such determined individuals. Evan at gun ranges, when someone goes there depressed and angry in order to do the deed, they aren't entirely committed.
They could be swayed. Easy gun rentals do matter in cases like that.
