The Florida school shooting suspect bought seven rifles in the last year ...

Documents ... show law enforcement and social services had opportunities to intervene ...

Broward County Sheriff's Office records show Lynda Cruz summonded deputies to her home 39 times since 2011. In 2013, she told police Nikolas was "throwing objects across the room." The next year, she claimed he "punched a hole in the wall" ...

Junior Dana Craig said she told school security ... "<Cruz> said, 'I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna rape you, I'm gonna hurt your family'" ...

1. These young adults surely knew Cruz better than we did.

I'm no expert, but I'm going to back everything that Emma Gonzales and her fellow classmates support.

2. Another Fine Example Of An NRA Good Guy With A Gun nt

13. Yup

3. Perfectly legal if he had no convictions.

It's his Constitutional Right as a member of the Unorganized Militia.

4. Where the hell does a 19 yo high school drop out

get that kind of money for guns? That has to be several thousands of dollars right?

5. My thought as well

His mother died and he had no job, so where did the money come from?

7. He claimed to be inheriting $800,000

Don’t remember where I saw that

[Jersey Devil]

8. yes, but he doesn't get the money until he is 22

and the people who took him in helped him get a low level job that probably didn't pay enough to get so many guns.

9. He walked out of that school, didnt he?

He didn’t have, or wasn’t allowed, a car, but had plenty guns? Am I missing something? So much crazy.

Tragic.

10. They did, but so did a lot of others.

Plenty of blame to go around here.

12. Can you imagine the hoopla if the FBI had gone to this kid and actually confiscated his guns?

The NRA and 2AAs would have had conniption fits. Faux News would have exploded.

From what I hear, there were no legal avenues to take this kid into mental health treatment and confiscate his weapons.

[uponit7771]

15. +1, which is the reason why the FBI didn't fail. There was nothing they could do without bending

... or breaking some laws to MAKE the home owners do anything even if they knew fully about the kid and the guns.

11. But NO BEER! That would be dangerous and irresponsible and a threat to society in the hands

of a still maturing brain.

The NRA is evil.
