Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The NRA has successfully prevented any governmental agency from intervening before the murdering begins. In the eyes of the law, these were all law-abiding gun owners right up until the first child's face was blown to bits.

Where are all the profilers? They should have an idea of potential risks that warrant keeping an eye on. They could have mental health professionals at their schools/work offer assistants, watch their progress on social media, and intervene before it escalates to violence.

Soooo, you think having policee swoop down on you (or anyone) Before you do anything would be a good idea?
How about if your neighbors simply dislike you & call the Hotline you no doubt would like to see?? Fun for all!
(NOTHING like the bounty you can get in Texas for calling in a suspected abortion-related thingy, right?)

No but their job is to monitor risk behaviors, right?
@St-Sinner In the eyes of the law these are all law-abiding citizens right up until the first murder takes place.
I would find the person who was the superior to each of these people and fire them, then I would find their superiors and fire them.

Even if that's true, "known to" and "already did some illegal shit we could lock 'em up for" are two totally different things. Are we living in the fuckin' Minority Report?

Unfortunately, you can't arrest someone before they commit a crime.

The question is unfettered access to firearms if there are red flags. And let’s be honest, if these acts were all being committed by Muslim extremists with ties to Al Qaeda or ISIL (like Orlando & San Bernardino for example), the Feds would now be monitoring their every move.
BD66:
@p-nullifidian What's a red flag? A protective order? A claim of domestic violence? Would Johnny Depp have lost his 2nd Amendment rights and had to go through a lengthy and expensive process to get them back?
@BD66 Red flags are determined by a judge and generally involve threats of bodily harm made against another party or parties, or actual assault and battery, which would result in not only a restraining order but a removal of the individual’s right to legally possess firearms. Such threats can be made in person, in writing via handwritten notes, as was the case for John Hinckley, or via social media, as has been the case for so many mass shooters in recent years.
Red flags also can be threats made to take one’s own life via a firearm, and should always involve intervention by mental health professionals.
Would you mind sharing the source for that? I'm not challenging its veracity. I would just like more information about it

Will have to Google, I'll try tomorrow.
@St-Sinner Thanks. The only sources I could find were twitter and pinterest
I have not been able to find references for all. Sorry. Maybe I should have posted this under "Silly" group.
@St-Sinner No problem. I didn't want to share it without knowing the source. There is so much BS on the internet.
@TheoryNumber3
I agree.
