Totally agree. The "facts" and important "details" of this are really missing in the public report of it. Concerning weapons, concealed carry, etc. etc. The part most people do not get, in their sincere desire to stop senseless killings and crime, is that passing additional "laws" beyond a "reasonable" process (such as permits, or excluding those who have mental problems, etc. Do we ever REALLY know if an individual has "mental problems") really seem to be a frustrated public's fruitless effort to continue to make sure the "wrong" people do not get their hands on fire arms. When you think about that, does anyone really think this newest idea, that banks and credit card companies must report individuals who purchase fire arms by check or CC, is going to work ? How many gang members and career criminals actually purchase their fire arms with their credit cards ? How many people lie on "questionnaires" ? It's similar to all the killing you read about by SUV's (you never see an article where a person was killed by a "Ford coupe", or a "Chevy sedan", nope, it's always an SUV ! But, was it the vehicle or the driver ? Is it the gun or the person holding it ? Could we stop all this needless death, far more than shootings, by passing more and more laws concerning who can purchase an SUV, or any vehicle ? Should be prevent the purchase of a vehicle by individuals with a history of alcohol abuse, DUI, suspended license ? I personally don't think people think through these troubling questions in a logical way. Thinking these types of problems can be solved, or even controlled, by man passing more laws? Not going to work in MHO !
