But you are correct in what you say. Most of it is not allowed to be discussed on this forum, but you are close.
Oh, you mean Ian David Long, the former marine. The one whom police were called to Long's home in Newbury Park in 2018 for a domestic dispute where he was found to be "somewhat irate and acting irrationally," per Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean.

Dean said mental health workers examined Long at the time, but decided not to take him in for further observation.

The same guy who was a "former machine gunner and decorated combat veteran of the war in Afghanistan who, authorities said, had an episode of erratic behavior that suggested post-traumatic stress disorder.

Long's various interactions with police over the years pointed to a man who needed professional help. None came". Link

So another case where people were made aware of someone who had emotional issues, did nothing, and yet finger pointing at the NRA occurs. Why aren't we looking at the breakdown in the support system?
