The man authorities believe was responsible for the New Year's Day shooting death of a national park ranger in Washington state was a former soldier who owned many knives and guns despite an emotionally unstable, vindictive and anger-prone mind-set, the mother of his toddler daughter said in court documents.


While investigators said Monday they had little insight into Barnes' mind-set or motivations, the woman with whom he was in a custody dispute over their young daughter said in court documents filed last year that she was frightened to be in the same state with him.


"The weapons are harmful and I don't know if he will try to use them against myself or my family," the woman wrote in a filing for a temporary restraining order filed with the Pierce County Superior Court on May 24.


Before the shooting at the national park, Barnes was wanted in connection with a shooting Sunday in the Seattle suburb of Skyway that left four people wounded.


A woman who said she had spurned Barnes' romantic advances said he visited her on Sunday morning.


She thought Barnes was a nice guy when they first met, but that he "seemed sketchy" after she got to know him better. That he turned to violence in his final days wasn't shocking to her. "It doesn't surprise me, honestly. He is a loose cannon. If he doesn't get his way or something makes him upset, he goes all the way out of control".

Its okay, though, because he was a trained soldier, and thus more than met the requirements of the 2nd Amendment's well-regulated militia clause. He also served his country overseas.

So the law doesn't apply to a "trained soldier" who "served his country"?
 
Obviously he was allowed to own guns because until the point where he started shooting people he hadn't committed crimes. and no, being really wierd doesnt count as a reason, nor does getting really angry, otherwise we would have to bar half the Italians in New York

The problem with domestic violence is complaints aren't the same as charges filed, the cops can show up to a house after a neightbor heard shouts and if the wife says she fell all the cops can do is glare at the husband. Restraining orders aren't a criminal offense, and really, don't do much to stop people killing one another. They just tend to really piss off the ex husband/boyfriend so the violence is that much nastier. Moral of the story being, dont get involved with loonies.

Yet you're ignorant of the laws of your own state. Hardly surprising. Ask a grown-up to explain matters to you.

You're weak and pitiful. You tried to make this story about gun control and you couldn't do it. You failed. Move along and try again another day. Better to keep silent now rather than keeping on with your charade. It only makes you look worse.
 
More ignorance from deniers incapable of understanding how to conduct research...

Ask an attorney what happens when a domestic partner obtains an order of protection.
