[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what would have made this less likely to happen? Age limits on guns. This is out of control. Teenagers should not be allowed to buy these weapons. [/quote]

18 year olds who serve this country have guns placed in their hands. Minimum age to be a police officer is 18-21, depending on the state.  [/quote]

Those 18 year olds have extensive training drilled into them.

If you don't agree with age limits, do you think we should require 6 months of training before purchasing a gun? For everyone?[/quote]

Not only that! They have to undergo background checks to get into service in e first place.  I’m fine using that standard! If an 18 year old wants a gun he should be able to get security clearance first :)[/quote]

This 18 year old had a background check. Sadly, he passed. [/quote]

Why wouldn't he have passed? 18-year-olds have clear records that are sealed from juvenile offenses which starts the day they turn 18. He waited and he pounced. Stupidity. [/quote]

EXACTLY. Do we really want the records sealed of cold blooded killers and crazies just because they hit a magic age?[/quote]

The kid didn't have a record...neither did the shooters of Majory Stoneman Douglas or Sandy Hook or Las Vegas Mandalay Bay or Isla Vista or Charleston.

What EXACTLY do you plan to do to combat these teen boys with with no state or federal prison records, no prior arrests, and not even a parking ticket that are snapping and getting weapons of mass war from parents or grandparents?[/quote]

The kid had an extensive history, including threats. So did the Douglas shooter and the Sandy Hook shooter. The one thing they had in common was the school system let their history go unpunished. The kids who knew these young adults were very vocal about that. We don't know ANYTHING about the Vegas shooter, certainly less than we knew about Rittenhouse. Why would that be? Charleston guy was also a known nutter.  Regarding the Isla sister shooter:

Before driving to the sorority house, Rodger uploaded a video to YouTube titled "Elliot Rodger's Retribution", in which he outlined his planned attack and his motives. He explained that he wanted to punish women for rejecting him, and sexually active men because he envied them. He also emailed a lengthy autobiographical manuscript to acquaintances, his therapist, and family members; the document appeared on the Internet and became widely known as his manifesto. In it, he described his childhood, family conflicts, frustration over his inability to find a girlfriend, his hatred of women, his contempt for couples (particularly interracial couples) and his plans for what he described as "retribution".

So yeah, there were extensive warnings in all these situations except Vegas, and I'd say that's because he was old enough to know how to cover his tracks well.[/quote]
