Someone reported Ian David Long for acting bizarrely and making threats. A crisis team came out, talked to him said he was fine and 12 people are dead.
If what gave rise to this red flag warning was threats to go on a shooting spree at the nearest elementary school maybe his guns should be taken.
I want to hang seditious lefty politicians from lamp posts. Should I not be allowed to have rope?
You have a knife and tell your next door neighbor that you are on your way to the preschool to hack up four year olds. Should you have that knife?
It would be hard to justify letting someone threatening to shoot up a school, a bar, a concert actually carry through on the basis of protecting second amendment rights. One of the first things we ask is didn't anyone know? Were there any signs?
I can't help but be reminded of the couple that opened fire at their workplace. They were killing infidels. And someone knew. A neighbor had identified suspicious behavior but said nothing. She didn't want to be an anti Islamic racist. Should she have said something? The wife of one of the Boston bombers watched her husband build bombs in the kitchen. Should she have said something?
It isn't so easy. Without knowing more about this case I'm reserving judgment. There are too many times I'd turn in a rat bastard myself.
