But hey, I'm all for a federal law that allows locking up...those who verbally advocate violence toward others.
If that were in effect, we would currently have a totally different national scenario.  |
The poster you are educating is simply following what he/she believes are orders from on high..nothing more. Has not offered a shred of condolances or ideas on this terrible thing..simply playing the politics of attack.
In any case, the more I read, the more I still feel OPEN and PUBLIC hearings broadcast at prime time on SCHOOL SHOOTINGS and what to do is in order.
This must be aired in public..and have those who are simply pro NRA on the record as well as those who might be anti. A serious discussion to see and hear our folks in action.
This hearing should include discussions on guns and mental health issues. Many think all of this is simply and it is not, but our children deserve a serious discussion on all of it.
I am appalled that the sheer power that the NRA seems to have, but not anti gun at all. I feel that the problem is a combination of both potential gun regulations and the due process of identifying and processing mental health concerns.
Despite the poster who simply attacks the FBI they have dealt with thousands of calls, etc and can speak to the obstacles that they have in handling such calls.
It should NOT be a hearing on the 2nd amendment in anyway but a specific hearing to determine the best action to protect our children while they are at school.
While you and I agree a lot on this, I will say this.....I do not know what could have been done had this been referred to the Miami FBI office as the link you gave addressed the first warning signal that was almost impossible to trace and work on, but had the Miam office been alerted....who knows.
I also think that local law enforcement who KNEW of this kid for quite some time should respond, not on the defensive, but as for the good of knowing what can and cannot be done and be whom. Police and FBI do an outstanding job but are human and restricted by law.
