It's baffling, but he in no way "slipped through the cracks".

Bruh, how do people not see this shit coming. You see that motherfucker?

I rarely say this flat out, but this was a direct failure of gun legislation. The guy was diagnosed with pretty severe mental issues, was in two mental health / therapy facilities for extended periods of time, was on anti-psychotic medication for schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, had a history of being extremely volatile and hostile, and still was able to buy all the guns he wanted in a perfectly legal manner. It's baffling, but he in no way "slipped through the cracks". This wasn't an issue of poor enforcement of the law or the authorities missing clear signs. This was the lack of gun control allowing and condoning this person to get firearms.

Remember how a theory test and a driving test + mandatory car insurance and road tax took away your cars?

I mean it probably would if they made it even slightly harder than getting a driver’s license. The majority of gun owners are severely retarded.

Idk about retarded but at least don't sell guns to ppl who are going from one therapist to another for several years to deal with their psyche issues.

Have you seen Sasha baron's sketch about kindergarten gun clubs. Shit looks like it was straight up from a GTA game.

It's a double edged sword. Gun culture is, to me, bewildering and has a fair bit of negative consequences but it's pretty important to a lot of Americans. The concern with having restrictions for people suffering from mental illness is that they will deter people from seeking help. A veteran / law enforcement officer with PTSD, someone with a bad childhood trauma, people suffering from depression / bipolar... If you'd start restricting these people's gun ownership or put them on a list that might be used for that purpose later, there would thousands and thousands of people with issues who would just not seek help out of fear of losing their guns. Imo it's baffling that people are so deep into their gun culture that they'd chose firearm over mental health, but it's a real sentiment. You'd end up with some of the most troubled people clinging to their firearms and not seeking help for their mental issues.

I still support stricter rules on that but the gun culture and misplaced obsession with firearms will undermine the effectiveness.
