Life has many variables and nobody is assured safety. Try explaining that to a leftist looking for simple solutions.

This morning a lot of people are keying in on "she did not make a specific threat."
And the gun control goalposts of non-solutions have been moved just after red flag was passed from someone having to allege there is a threat to "just generally dangerous without proof."
Anyone with a trigger finger is a potential mass shooter, just as anyone with a penis is a potential rapist.
IMHO, just a sick person looking to gain widespread attention to their planned suicide.
Probably watched the whole thing unfold form a smartphone until suckstarting that shotty.
I don't know, but every time I try to put the tinfoil hat away, some weird shit goes down and I find myself still wearing it...
Normally I'd be all over the 'good riddance' theme, but the scent of bullshit is wafting around on this one, and I just can't make it there based on available info.
Just one example (among many) is, if they traced the weapon purchase based on CC transactions, how is it they were unable to trace the uber rides? (which should have been far simpler; can't use uber without both Card and Device)
Not saying she didn't have issues, but IMO (in this case) that may have simply made here an optimal subject for external/psychological manipulation...
One anomaly is chance, two likely coincidence, three (or more) is very likely conspiracy/deliberate action...
Do you know the FBI traced her gun purchase via a credit card? I read that agents and other LE visited shops around the area and that's how they found out where she bought the gun. I don't know if that's accurate.
Also, re: tracing credit cards... Couldn't she have done this anonymously with a Visa/MC gift/prepaid card?
My brother in law is an FFL, he got a text asking if he sold a firearm to her early in the morning on Tuesday. He lives in New Castle, so maybe they sent messages to all FFLs in the state.
