In many cases we find out that the shooter was known to local police and/or FBI. In the FedEx situation the guy had a rifle or some kind of gun taken away from him a year or so ago because he was suicidal. That gun was NOT returned to him. He then went out and bought two more. His name should have been in a database of people who are NOT allowed to purchase firearms. Is there such a database that covers the entire country? If so, is it not updated in a timely manner? I don't know ...
