So what?
The article was wrong. The handgun was a M&P 9mm. The 9mm long gun semiauto was one of the MP types (definately listed as an assault rifle) and the one she did most of the shooting with was an AR-15 copy.

Exactly. The "assault weapon" narrative distracts from the real issue which is, all of the mass shooters are mentally ill.To me, it doesn't matter what kind of weapon is being used. When it's in the possession of the wrong person, don't expect anything good to happen as soon as they start putting their weapon of choice to work. The only good thing is when the authorities start putting their weapons of choice to work in return once they are finally in the picture of course.
God bless you and the good members of the authorities always!!!

So what?
Too many? I agree. One is too many.
That's your opinion and flies in the face of the 2nd Amendment. This case is textbook reasoning why we cannot depend on Red Flag laws.
She came to the shooting with more than an AR. She would have done it anyway. Every time there is a mass shooting you guys want to pass legislation that would not have stopped that mass shooting.1. Assault Weapon Ban would have meant that she could not have purchased an AR. Her intention was for maximum body count. But she was so inept that she could only bag 6. Had she been unable to purchase an "assault" style rifle, the body count may not have changed since she is so inept. But chances are, it would have been less. The ONLY handgun mass shooter in the last 20 years with a high body count was done by a Combat Marine. Imagine what he could have done with 3 ARs and a band of MAGs. Again, we are not out to stop the mass shootings, we are just out to make them harder to get a high body count and frequency.
Red Flag Laws certainly would have prevented this had her Mother and Doctor approached a Judge and had ALL her weapons seized and prevented her from purchasing any replacements.
The facts are, you love you AR more than you do children. Actually, your love of children may stem from needing more for target practice.

You can't prove that in this case. She was searching for particular people. If she wanted a high body count she surely could have gotten more than six with the AR, don't you think?The AR just made it easier to up the body count for the beginner. The MP she had would have had a lower body count with the same number of hits and the handgun would have had even a lower body count. Again, WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP THIS BUT WE CAN LOWER THE BODY COUNT. Now what part of that are you having trouble with.

According to multiple news sources, she was not reported because they did not know she had any weapons.Except TN doesn't have a red flag law. If it did, maybe her parents would have had an avenue to stop her.

It doesn't take a red flag law to involuntarily commit a mentally ill human to pyschiatric care for 24-48 hours...which would be enough to get them flagged on a gun background check...you idiot...
If she was flagged as a mental incompetent, wouldn't the sale of weapons be denied by NICS?Again, her parents took her at her word she got rid of the one gun they thought she had. A red flag law would have brought in cops to confiscate all of them.
Um, yeah, and then she'd get the guns anyway. If she already had them, flagging her ona background check wouldn't have done any good.
That's why you need Red Flag Laws.

She didn't need an AR and, in fact, brought several items with her to kill that would not have been subject to an assault weapons ban. As I said, every time one of these shootings happens the left want to enact common sense gun control legislation, none of which would have prevented the mass shooting they were talking about.Yah, until she found those particular people, everyone else was fair game. She was an incompetent shooter. Are you wanting to offer shooting classes for potential mass shooters so they can get better? Let me know when that class starts.
