Maybe if the FBI weren't so busy covering their asses and chasing down Trump ghosts they might have been able to divert some resources to stopping Cruz when he was first reported as someone worthy of bringing in for questioning and investigation.

That would have been a whole lot more effective than some more gun laws that won't stop a would be criminal from getting a gun.

Do you think a person intent on slaughtering school kids is going to let a gun law get in his or her way?

Maybe kids that get kicked out of school should be put on a no-buy list until they're 21 or more. That could be simple common sense start.

And what could the FBI do?Had he committed a crime yet?Unless you're going to lock people up for what they MIGHT do....

Broward County sherriff's was called to his house nearly 40 times over a 7 year period.Whether he was ever arrested or the exact nature of the calls is unknown,or may never be known at this time ,especially because he was a juvenile during much of that time frame.So obviously being scrutinized by law enforcement didn't seem to faze him.

it's proof our mental illness process is horrible. overhauling how we deal with the mentally ill is the only way to put a dent in these shootings. but you already know that I'm sure.

This is why you need to work the other end of the problem. You make schools secure

Did he forget to brush up on the liberal playbook before writing that?

Big omission on his part...could have scored some extra points.
