As more information comes to light about how the Broward County
Public Schools and the Broward County Sheriff's Department
systematically ignored the ticking time bomb in their midst...

I again wonder, why is the NRA being blamed for this atrocity?
I wonder why new laws are thought to be necessary when there are
ample laws to address the shooter's exhibited behavior which should have
led to a conviction where he would have been ineligible to own any kind
of firearm regardless of his age.
I wonder why a new law concerning restraining orders is needed when
he'd have been ineligible from his conviction and that he was never put
under a such an order prior to buying a firearm or breaking the existing
laws about possession of a firearm on school property, firing a firearm
on school property and murder.
More laws will help in what way?
"The law failed, so the solution is more law?" That's wishful thinking at best.

The same goes for that nut that shot Gabrielle Giffords. He was known to be a few sunflower seeds short of a trail mix, and had done a lot of stuff that should have had him hauled in by the law. Once in the hands of the police, they'd probably have sent him for a psychiatric evaluation, and no psychiatrist worth his couch would have certified him as anything but barking mad. And people who are known to have mental problems don't get to legally buy guns.
