Colby Sue Weathers had similarly unfettered access to guns in 2012 despite being a suicidal, paranoid schizophrenic with a history of drug and alcohol abuse. Diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2011 and repeatedly hospitalized, Weathers was nevertheless able to buy a gun in her home state of Missouri, which she used to murder her father. Weathers' mother had called the gun shop in advance, asking employees not to sell a weapon to her daughter. The sale went through. The murder quickly followed.
