OK, the shooter bought the gun at our local Sportsman's Warehouse. The sales person who sold him the gun stated that he really did not want to sell him the gun as he felt the shooter was acting strange. However, because the background check passed him, he had to let him have the gun.
As far as Pima County community college suspending himuntil he passed a mental evaluation, I don't know how they could have passed something on that along? technically, he hadn't been committed either voluntarily or by a doctor's or court order so there wasn't a hell of a lot they could do. Who would they even notify?
Hell! The system has even given him an anti-death penalty lawyer who specializes in badass death penalty cases with a track record of winning. I'll even give odds he beats it with an insanity plea. Too bad they moved it to Phoenix. I'd love to be on that jury. I've heard rumors that his lawyer wants to move the case out of state Figures too much prejudice in AZ. Ya think?
The media keeps saying how Gabby was pro-gun. If that was the case, how come the NRA gave her a "D" rating? According to her web site she was against ownership of semi-auto handguns, yet owned a Glock herself. IIRC, she was also in favor of "sensible" laws Dunno what her defintion of sensible was though. I don't think it was as rabid as Feinstein, Schumer and those guys. I only glanced through the site and don't remember all that much.
It does make me wonder though what her attitude toward us gun owners will be once she's up and about and back to work?
It just don't look good.
