What law(s) would have stopped the Buffalo shooting?

[HandleTheTruth]

There was, obviously, no need for him to get around any law.

Well if the mental health professional would of made the right call this could of been stopped.
Wouldn't you say he is crazy?

 

[HandleTheTruth]

NY laws has no such requirement.

Look up the law and get back to me.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Well mental health professionals sure dropped the ball.

Your opinion. I am sure they are a far more competent judge than you.
Fact remains:
Under state and federal law it was perfectly legal for him to buy the gun.

 

[HandleTheTruth]

Not according to the laws of the state of NY.
Nothing in them made him a prohitibted person.

I literally just read the law.

No that's the law. Look up the law in New York.

Oh,. no no no.
YOU claims the law requires (x)
Onus is on YOU to cite the law and provide the text to that effect.
Which you cannot do, because it does not exist.

NY gun laws:
Gun laws in New York - Wikipedia
NY has among the strongest gun laws in the US - indeed, NY has ALL the 'common sense' laws - laws, we are told,. will prevent shootings like this.
Obviously, these laws don't work.
So...
What law(s) would have stopped the Buffalo shooting?
What makes you believe this?
How do these law(s) not violate the constitution?

Well, heck then....T's & P's.

Yes in order for the law to kick in these were the things that had to happen. It's not easy to have this happen by design. Over a thousand people have been bared from buying or possession firearms in New York under the law.

 

[M14 Shooter]

No that's the law. Look up the law in New York.

The law requires mental health professionals to report people they deem a credible threat.
They did not deem him a credible threat.
Thus, legal for him to buy a gun.

And why did the red flag law not stop him?
No one took him to court.

I am not a competent judge in these matters - just like you.
Thus, I'll take the professional opinion of those mental health professions over yours.

Well I'd say without a stretch that he was a viable threat. Especially after this shooting. It's not hard to say that on my end.

It sounds like no matter what you don't want this to stopped by such a law to begin with.

Even after he has proven without a shadow of a doubt he was an actual threat to society. You still balk.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Well I'd say without a stretch that he was a viable threat.

You say this with the benefit of hindsight.
Did you interview the shooter? Evaluate him? Judge his behavior against established practical and professional standards?
-They- did. And they did not evaluiate him as a threat.
Thus, -you- opinion doesn't matter.

Sure in order for the law to kick in the mental health professional had to sign off. They didn't and the law didn't kick in.

So there you go.

And so, he bought the rifle legally, because he was not legally prohibited from doing so.
