Gun control shouldn't be what type of guns someone can buy it needs to be who can buy sell and process weapons. Chris Kyle has probably put himself in this situation before because he loved trying to help other troops it just wasn't the best decision on his part.
Another way to look at it though is putting the the person back in his element, back doing what he used to do, what he used to love, could be a good thing. Could very well be possible that he felt at home at the range. It may have been where he felt the most stable, back in his element. There is a piece of a soldier that no matter how much he bitched about being in the military that will always miss it, and almost feel lost without it. Maybe the gun range was his therapy and he felt more stable there then any other place.
I know when my brother come home from combat deployments there was a period of time where just being out in the public was unnerving to him. I have never been deployed, yet, but when I leave for a month I know it even takes myself a week to ten days to feel normal again as ya get agitated with the every day person out there.
Maybe the range was this guys sanctuary. We dont know enough yet. Maybe he has been there alot, and maybe this former SEAL had been helping him often.
