It’s more accurate than anything you’ve offered lately lady
So what's the point of noting that the OH shooter supported Elizabeth Warren (assuming it's true; I haven't seen it confirmed)? Nothing to indicate his shooting was done for political ends, much less ends advocated by Warren? And certainly Warren doesn't advocate or condone violent means to advance political ends.
It'd be like pointing out the shooter liked Italian food. Is that supposed to show spaghetti leads to mass shootings?
The El Paso shooter, however, was clearly driven by political ends, the same ones advocated by Trump (see his manifesto). And when a crowd member at a Trump rally shouted about using the means that were employed by the El Paso shooter ("shoot them"), Trump joked about it and everyone in the crowd laughed.
Wow. You don't even try to hide your hypocrisy anymore.So what's the point of noting that the OH shooter supported Elizabeth Warren (assuming it's true; I haven't seen it confirmed)?

LMAO! Should I go dig up your posts on the El Paso shooters “MAGA laden twitter feed” that hadnt had a post since April 2017 and I only saw TWO posts in that even referenced Trump or GOP policy? So in this post you’ve demonstrated nicely how you deflect/ignore when these individuals wind up aligned on your agenda and shriek when there is even a sliver of information showing they align with the opposite agenda (two damn posts on an inactive for two year twitter account!).

I think that flagging people with a history of severe mental illness would be a good start. This Ohio kid was a nutball and apparently it was well documented since high school.
Do away with the minor status. If we all have to sacrifice, minors lose too. HIPAA needs to go too.I think the biggest issue there might be the minor status.
I think people on both sides of the argument are down with the idea of addressing the mental issues. In fact, I'd posit the conservative/pro-gun side is even quicker to point out the mental side since it underscores blaming the person and not the inanimate object used. The problem is all the nuances involved with actually implementing actionable criteria. What about HIPAA? Who is deciding what is actionable? (No possibility of abuse there, right?) What recourse is available to challenge such actions if taken? These (and probably many others) are real questions that a great many people, and likely courts, aren't going to be too keen on the "pass it to see what's in it" approach to emotion driven laws cropping up.
