Yeah, this narrative is not just convenient, but surprisingly long standing when you see how long it has been around.

It is like transgender. You desparately want or identify with a group but you are not actually one of them, you are just mentally ill.

Guns purchased legally according to the news. As for trouble in private purchase I meant FBI comes around and bugs you for info, probably a nervous situation.

Somebody scraped his social accounts:

Wow really sorry I read that but it reinforces my opinion of "social media". Mostly people too ignorant to talk to in person.

This is at least the second mass shooter discharged from the military for mental health issues. One would assume such a condition would disqualify a person from legally purchasing a firearm. This lack of inter-departmental cooperation demonstrates the government's inability to enforce any proposed "red flag" laws.

I just noticed the missing lens in the shooter's glasses. The (heroic) cop must have put one in his eye socket. I am impressed! Seriously.

Yes, the officer did what he was trained to do. Put his life on the line and ran towards the shooting and took down the threat which saved many lives. Thank you officer.

Except protecting the public isn't what red flag laws are for. Making it easier to strip rights from law-abiding gun owners through malicious (and secret) prosecution is.

ONLY IF THE INFORMATIO ABOUT HIS MENTAL FITNESS IS UPPLOADED TO THE DATABASE

The military kicking known threats back out into the population seems almost like a feature...

This is typical of the government’s double speak; they scream for red flag laws but don’t require the military arm to report mental issues of discharged service prople to the DOJ so they can be entered into the background check system.

It’s just like all of the laws restricting gun possession by convicted felons. When an arrest is made for a violent crime, the first charges to be thrown out by the DAs are the weapons charges.

I don’t think you understand the bar that has to be met to be declared a prohibited person for mental health reasons. It’s pretty high.

Gonna be a lot of people making waves… wish a decent group of pro-2A would counter this.

We countered it by shutting down all anti-gun legislation in this session of the Texas legislature.

That’s good, but not effective PR. I personally think that’s a short-term strategy.

Yeah, I hear HB 2744 (raise age 18 to 21 to buy rifle) is dead in the water. Gone.

Dallas Morning News editorial 5/10/2023 is still hoping for gun reform based on two Rs voting in committee to raise age to buy rifle to 21. They admit in editorial that unlikely to become law. They want a full House vote.

I wrote the paper that a state can (but it would unconstitutional) pass a law raising the age limit. The unconstitutional part is one can't deny Second Amendment right to an adult. Right or wrong with the 26th Amendment which reduced voting age to 18 we now say that majority starts at age 18. If the country doesn't like that age then change it back to 21 for voting and guns.

Since 1968, <21 cannot buy handguns, etc.

True and likely to face court test. The Supreme Court has ruled that gun control laws are unconstitutional [Heller, Bruen, McDonald, etc] It stated that the Second Amendment allows the American people to own firearms, but it also stated that this right can be limited.

With the Bruen decision last year I would think along with court cases now against states imposing age limits that the Gun Control Act of 1968 will also be challenged.

It has faced 2 court test I know of and failed.

I am not aware of any Post-Bruen, it seems like a slam dunk 5th would allow it given the Texas carry case.

The window of a pro-gun SCOTUS is not forever, not sure why we are not flooding cases.

Gee, anpother school shooting.

Seems like the media is trying to promote fear of shootings. So if you're afraid of shootings, stay in the basement with your ice cream cone!!
Nobody guarnteed to wake up tomorrow.
