I haven't heard the talking heads mention that Jared Loughner tried repeatedly to enlist in the military--and was rejected for psychological reasons.
This is an area in which I have some experience. During wartime, and we are currently fighting 2 wars, the Army (despite the "Looking For A Few Good Men" bullshit) rejects very few. If you have 4 limbs and can write your own name, they'll take a chance on you.
Mental stability? From what I've seen, if you showed up at a recruiting station naked, with a feather-duster up your ass singing Wagner, the Army would sign you up and try to "rehabilitate" you.
They rejected Jared Loughner.
He had no trouble buying a gun.

Righto! And inquiring minds want to know, did the local Walmart where he bought the extra clip of ammo have a policy that they wouldn't be "undersold"? Did he use his savings to tip his cabbie?
