Right, and he recently was arrested for stabbing someone. His firearms should have been confiscated at that point.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post

We need to ban crazy people who go on rampages.

Lots of assumptions here, not the least of which is that there is often "somebody who should have said something", but didn't want to appear like a nut, or didn't want the personal attention.
The old "if you see something, say something" really should be encouraged.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

Yes, this guy even exceeded the "see something - say something" bar.
There is the Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban which, upon conviction, makes it illegal for the convicted person to own or even handle firearms. That doesn't prevent the person from obtaining them. It simply makes it illegal.Surely the next logical step after being found guilty of a physical attack is to make sure you now have your gun rights revoked? Or is that not how it works?
At that point, maybe we come back to "see something - say something". Somebody who knows he should not have weapons should report that.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

exactly. It's almost like they don't really give a crap about fixing the problem because the problem gives them talking points to make it seem like they are doing something but aren't and keeps them in office, huh?

The problem being this guy had not been convicted. Being accused is not the same as being guilty.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Comment

The 'enforce what's on the books' talking point exaggerates the problem by noting every law on the books - and not bothering to mention that they aren't in effect in every jurisdiction. This is because America has over 20,000 governments - cities, townships and school districts all count in addition to state and Federal. It confuses people here - the real issue is with Federal gun control, not mere gun control.
The Federal advantage is that it applies everywhere. The incorporation of the Second makes it extremely unlikely that a Federal law will get passed (why bother if the Court is going to overturn it?).
So, in answer to your question, the laws may not have been in place (I do not know - I haven't researched the jurisdiction). They may not have been enforced (I don't know - I don't know that it was possible - enforcement is usually penal, not preemptive). Or the guy may have obeyed the law right up until he started shooting.
Only if enforcement should have occurred and didn't do we need to see heads doing anything proverbial.

Arrest is not conviction - you've got the horse behind the cart here.
However, there is a question of what he was doing out - he stabbed someone and was given bail. Why?"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
