If she had made such a comment if she had killed her children, it may be considered with the rest of the evidence, but that isn't what she did. She shot a man who was trying to kill her and other innocent people.
She's not trying to avoid personal responsibility in any way. You are just trying to find reasons to justify your anti-religion and anti-gun biases.
You cannot take her statement verbatim and in a vacuum, as much as you would like to do so. Her statement, like any other statement anyone makes, must be taken in context - thats how communication works.
Lets look at some of YOUR statements perhaps shall we? You apparently seem to believe the US, or at least Colorado, is populated by zombies. Zombies, as any rational person knows, are purely mythical creations. If we are to apply your own rules of interpretation to your own words, it would appear you have some serious problems with reality as you believe entire parts of the world are populated by something which doesn't exist.
