One of the police officers sitting at the press conference next to the governor was asked "What can we do" by a reporter. He said "I don't know, I am not a psychologist".
Well neither are the firearm CEOs, neither are the shop owners, so how can anyone think that spending mere minutes looking at someone know that that person wont go on to hurt themselves or others? We give our police psychological evaluations before we hand them a gun, it is insane that people think it is as simple as no record at time of buy is good enough. Most of these shooters bought them legally, or got them from a family member who bought it legally.
Better vetting, waiting periods, limits on ammo, limits on the amount one can buy in a year. No weapons of war, no big clips.
It took police 6 minutes to get to this event, in that 6 minutes 20 people were slaughtered dead and another 40 were injured. That is 60 families whose lives are shattered and the survivors will be suffering PTSD for the rest of their lives. We have more civilians murdered with firearms than military in war.
It costs more to react to an event like this, than it would to simply have better vetting at time of purchase.
