Here the shooter made public threats, which were reported to the FBI but they FAILED to investigate. They even said they couldn't find the guy despite using his real name. Had they done their job, he could have been blocked from legally buying a gun.
The school had already expelled him and banned him from the school as well as asking the school board for a threat assessment, which they FAILED to do. It is slowing coming out that students are not being arrested to keep the school crime rate down. Here he could have been arrested but wasn't. Had he been arrested (and convicted) he would have been blocked from legally buying a gun.
The Broward Sheriff's office had been called out to this kid's house 39 times. They FILED to arrest him even once or Baker act him. Two deputies are presently suspended over it. Had they done their job, he could have been blocked from legally buying a gun.
Everyone who ever met this kid thought he was nuts. His ex girlfriend gave an interview and said he was bring knives to school and selling them and he talked about killing people.
And to top it all off, the School Resource Office who was at the school and charged to protect those kids froze up and failed to do anything. FAILED to do ANYTHING. It has since come out that 3 more deputies from the Broward Sheriff's office also failed to do anything and that the Coral Springs police went in while the Broward Sheriff's deputies waited outside. That is the same Sheriff's office who was called 39 times. The shooting lasted 7 minutes, over 4 of which the cops FAILED to go in. Had they have done their job, the carnage would have been substantially worse.
So what is the other side saying? They are blaming the system that failed and not the gun. They want the system fixed, not new laws restricting the rights of the law abiding.
