      There were multiple opportunities to take the shooter into custody and make sure he couldn’t own a gun before he ever bought a gun. All it takes is one felony conviction.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robb_Elementary_School_shooting

      “He had also previously posted violent threats online.[127]”

      "Ramos’ social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos’ account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129] "

      “A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of semi-automatic rifles that were on his wish list. According to a friend of his, he would often drive around at night with another friend, shooting at strangers with a BB gun and egging cars.”

      " On May 14, Ramos sent a private Instagram message reading, “10 more days”. A person responded, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” He replied, “No, stop asking dumb questions. You’ll see.”[127]"

      “According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in September 2021, Ramos asked his older sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.[56]”

      You can get over being mad about that because it will be here longer than you and all the rest of us.

      The right to bear arms is a great freedom that we should all celebrate.

        Yeah! Have a big party! Invite all 19 of the families whose kids were brutally slaughtered in school! I’m sure they’d love that sort of party.

            You’re the only one here who seems mad about being wrong. It’s not the 18th century anymore.

              I’m the one who is most right of all, because I actually understand the law and the logistics of Constitutional Amendments. The rest of you disagreeing with me are displaying cognitive dissonance, because you don’t want to believe the truth, or just plain old ignorance.

              The fact is that the 2nd Amendment will remain in place no matter what you ever do. Because it takes a 3/4 majority of the 50 states to ratify an Amendment to change that. It only requires 13 states to vote NO to changing it to retain it. Now, go and count how many red states there are.

          It’s not a bad opinion anywhere, it’s just the truth and anybody who doesn’t like it is wrong.
