And if he had to wait 3 more years it would have stopped him from going to a school? It’s not like he attended the school. It was a primary school. Instead, we would just be talking 3 years later about the same thing.
However, if proper protocols and security measures were followed at the school, then we’d be talking about an evil person who tried to gain access but couldn’t. There wasn’t even a resource officer there for goodness sake. Then kids wouldn’t have died and his rights to a gun would have been stripped forever if he was left alive.
We have enough laws on the books and protocols to follow. Also there are additional practical protocols that would keep children even safer. But we’d rather send 44 Billion for other countries to give their citizens guns to fight bad guys.
