What common sense law would've prevented this. We already have laws on the books so another layer of bureaucracy isn't going to help, it'll just let people feel warm and fuzzy inside. We need to enforce the laws on the books already, that's all! Perfect example is Chicago. The strictest gun laws in the US and look how that is turning out. Laws just inhibit the law abiding citizens, not the criminals.
Part of the bigger problem is that we need uniform gun laws across the country. Yes, Chicago has the toughest laws around for guns. But all the gang bangers do is take a short drive to Indiana where the laws are not a stringent as they are in Illinois and they buy their weapons. Uniform laws would eliminate this loophole. Not advocating for more laws - just consistent laws from state to state, city to city.
There were many red flags with this guy that were ignored. Where are the laws penalizing everyone that didn't raise a red flag allowing this to happen??
Lastly, I saw an article that said he was treated at the same hospital as the victims but in a secluded room. Said he was pretty catatonic and unresponsive like he was in shock. I wonder if it went from being like a game to being real horror and killing innocent people wasn't what he thought it would be like... He had multiple loaded magazines but he simply dropped the gun, backpack and walked away while trying to fit in with the crowd. He didn't try and run per se but went to a fast food joint...
