Kid was training with a white nationalist militia

How exactly is this dissimilar from a guy going to an ISIS training camp then coming back to run people over?

Man..

Gun control really needs to be framed as a public health issue.

The NRA is a domestic terrorist organization that has infiltrated our political system

Unsurprisingly, he was a really big Trump supporter

This is at least the 3rd report of white nationalist militias plotting attacks we've seen recently IIRC.

I know the answer, but I have a feeling our gov is not devoting enough resources to stamping out our own domestic terror groups.

New Mexico shooter on alt-right too:

The list does note that McCain received the bulk of his denotations in 2008 when he was a presidential candidate.

Didn't the admin defund studying domestic terrorism in the last year? I can't remember the specifics.

Seems like the fbi had interviewed more than 1 of the past few shooters didn’t they? I know they did the Orlando shooter.

You have to realize there is much that people do not understand about the internet.

Ignorant people out there hear "a youtube user was reported for making a comment" and just assume that the FBI can just track that username back to a real name, address, phone number, etc.

People don't realize it just doesn't work like that.

^exactly.

And when everything starts to get lumped into a profile of the shooter story, little details like this get turned into a "smoking gun" and given as much weight as real issues like "Do not let this kid near the school with a backpack"

The proper protocols regarding this tip were not followed according to the FBI

uhhh, Interview him.

Realize he bought an AR-15 within the year, ammo and was posting on social media sites backing up the claim by the informant.

I think interviewing him would have been a CRUCIAL step here.

there's noway to prevent lone wolf attacks. even if the fbi interviewed the guy he would have just said he loves america, apple pie and baby ducks. then what

not saying they shouldnt try to stop them, just that if people have due process, you cant

the way the fbi catches terrorist is they create a fake plot and get the guy to join in. cant do that with a lone wolf

it would be interesting to know how often the FBI gets tipped off about this kinda thing

If they get so many tip offs and they don't have the resources to properly evaluate, or they don't have a good metric to know who's a real threat or not, this sort of indicates this isn't the most practical link to focus on doesn't it?

The owners of the gun store that sold the gun are closing down, supporting gun control legislation

It would probably be illegal for the gov. to keep a database of peoples' mental health medical treatments for the purposes of banning them from gun ownership wouldn't it? There's no viable way to stop mentally ill people from buying a gun. Is it somehow less worse to violate people's right to privacy?

The free market solution is for gun shops to require credit checks, and for credit institutions to use their broad data acquisition powers to glean who's mentally ill and then deny them the credit to purchase a weapon.

Huge false alarm and panic at Concord mills today. No one was hurt in the chaos.

http://www.wfmynews2.com/news/local/reports-of-gunfire-under-investigation-at-concord-mills-no-one-hurt-police-say/523179374

I love how in the video from inside dave and busters, you can see one guy just chilling enjoying his beer while everyone around him scrambles to find a table to hide under.

The same thing happened at Four seasons greensboro Saturday night
