How do you feel about "Red Flag" laws?

@Ironhand I agree with your second sentence.

@ProfessorPlum77 I'm a fervent 2nd Amendment supporter, but there are individuals out there that are a danger to the community and allowing them access to firearms is an issue. The Parkland shooter is a perfect example.

@robb65 Meh. No I’m fine with it.

@ShellSeeker Like I said, there's the problem. That's why nothing ever gets done. One group wants to do something like right now regardless of whether or not it does anything to help the problem or who it hurts while the other group shakes their head and laughs.

@robb65 No. Most Americans want a set of gun reforms, both from gun-owning and non-gun-owning households:

@SomeMichGuy I think they fired the resource, but were forced to rehire him. (If I remember correctly.)

@ProfessorPlum77 The Wikipedia article has a lot of the twists & turns (w/extensive footnotes!).

I don't know that I'd heard about the school district spending $185k to try to hide their part in not intervening RE: the shooter, but it sounds as though there was blame in several places.

Pretty horrible outcome, regardless.

@SomeMichGuy Yes, there were warning signs, but the local authorities overlooked them. I don't remember, exactly, but this is one shooting that could have been prevented and then while it was happening the resource officer did not engage the killer. Terrible on many levels.

@BlueVeins So far not much has been said about the shooter as everybody is focused on the local police standing around with their fingers up their asses and making misleading statements. I'm wondering what, if anything will come out about that guy. I don't believe he was a fine upstanding citizen who just snapped with no warning. Did he have some record and had it been swept under the rug? If so that would be a good place to start. Maybe there was something there that he should have been reported for. Maybe there was something that should have prevented him from buying a gun but it got covered up.. If that's the case then look for ways to change that.
