I really don't understand why Americans think people like this should be owning firearms.

Is this guy the "well regulated" militia?

I really don't believe this is what their ancestors had in mind when they wrote the second amendment.

No, he's clearly part of the "good guys with a gun", group

American sentences are ridiculous. A serial killer where i live got 30 years. This guy kills one kid, and he gets 100 years?

Well the American judicial system is made for punishment and not actually for helping those people, so if anything they just become more dangerous. And when they release them into society again, they'll be excluded because of their past, making them even more likely to commit crimes again. So therefore they just don't.
