Bottom line - this could grow to a huge VOTING block in 2018 and 2020 and the DC, State, and Local folks will HAVE TO take notice and do something. Hopefully NOT simply ongoing investigations, committees, meetings, and delays.
We already know 3 important facts from this event>
1. The FBI requires a systemic improvement and closed-loop systems for "say something" escalated to them. They CANNOT allow 'slip-thru-the-crack's and errors.
2. Same as #1 for Schools, Local, and State agencies.
3. He bought the weapon LEGALLY even with suspect background/behaviors.
I do not see this one slipping away from the forefront as in the past. momentum will/should continue to ensure some proper action to close pen holes in the system. Again, noting will be 100%, but minimize the chances of copycats et al.
