Mother shoots herself and her children for food stamps. A society where guns are freely allowed is dysfunctional

I am not against owning a gun, but I am against that some people seem to use their guns as a last resort, not to fix a situation, but to destroy it totally. Look at this example:

SAN ANTONIO — A Texas woman who for months was unable to qualify for food stamps pulled a gun in a state welfare office and staged a seven-hour standoff with police that ended with her shooting her two children before killing herself, officials said Tuesday.

And why this woman did what she did? Because she didn't get support for food stamps from the state of Texas:

Grimmer first applied for food stamps in July but was denied because she didn’t turn in enough information, Texas Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said.
Goodman didn’t know what Grimmer specifically failed to provide. In addition to completing an 18-page application, families seeking state benefits also must provide documents proving their information, such as proof of employment and residency.

Isn't it crazy, that it is easier to get a gun that kills, but it is almost impossible to get  food stamps!!!

The woman and the children apparently had recently moved to Texas from another state, and that made it harder for her to provide the info the state wanted.

“This wasn’t like a knee-jerk reaction,” said Baeza, adding that Grimmer felt she was owed restitution of some sort.
Grimmer let a supervisor go unharmed around 7:45, but stayed inside the office with her children. After hanging up the phone around 11:45, police heard three shots, and a SWAT team entered the building. Inside, they found Grimmer’s body and her two wounded children.
The children were “very critical” and unconscious when taken from the scene, Baeza said.

I see two problems, a woman who somehow had a gun, yet, not food to feed her children, and a government, who is full of bureaucracy, and  did not want to help a family in need.

I lived on food stamps when I was a teenager in California, and I could see the desperation in my aunt's face when we didn't have anything to eat. But she never went out and bought a gun, she knew better, that money would be used to feed us, not to kill us.

Let's pray that those two kids make it, and that gun laws are tightened, and that the states have better trained people to avert this incidents in the future.
