Adopted father died 10 years ago
Mom died in November of the flu.
He was living with friends and his ar-15 was locked in their gun safe.
What I read said he had the key to the safe.

Given this kids history he should have been baker acted long ago. Not sure why someone expelled from the school would even be allowed near it. School Officials, LE and FBI dropped the ball on this one big time. We need to focus on getting nut jobs like this some treatment. The background check system needs to be overhauled and have digital feeds from all local, state and federal LEO and the military. Supposedly this kid was in a treatment facility and he checked himself out and then did this.
I seem to remember that at some point (late 70's early 80's) that there was a Supreme Court decision that basically made it way harder to keep people in mental health facilities if they didn't want to be there. Maybe it was a law, not sure. I think that we're seeing (and have been seeing) the backlash from some of that.
One other question: Didn't fighting (physical fighting, fist fights) use to be more common among boys? I get that impression. I wonder if it wasn't a good safety valve for blowing some pressure off before things got really out of hand. I don't know.
Yeah that's what's so scary. There's alot of them that show up to the ER of hospitals all across the country. Parents bring them in and nothing is done for them because most people can't afford the help.I guess the FBI going and speaking to Nicholas Cruz was to much to ask? We aren't talking about a seasoned and hardened criminal here. A freaking kid...

I think it was in the 80's, but yea it was deemed unconstitutional, basically because being mentally unstable is not a crime. Not to mention the cost burden on the States (I think this was more the reason) I am not sure what the answer is regarding this, but here we are.
Well, get ready, it's on.I just put some popcorn in the microwave...
Who are you and what has lead you onto this forum.Maybe it should be harder to obtain a ar-15 than a handgun. I can see the reasons people dont want to ban them, but anyone without a criminal record can walk into a store and have one in under an hour. There are common sense laws out there but the NRA will not give an inch because they are afraid it will lead to total loss of all guns. A mandatory 2-3 week waiting period for all guns is an obvious one. How would a law like that infringe on anyones rights? They should do background checks on high capacity magazines. Put a limit on how much ammo someone can buy at one time unless they have a certain licences or pass a back ground check. All of these are things that would help stop and or identify the bad people. They would at least put up red flags on people with suspicious behavior when it comes to purchasing rifles and ammo. Also the NRA takes russian money so screw them.
In before someone says Australia banned 99% of the people there from owning semi automatic rifles in 1996 and does not see these kind of shootings
YepWhat I read said he had the key to the safe.
Little late to the show....Who are you and what has lead you onto this forum.
There are background checks enough on gun purchases, waiting 2 weeks would stop zero school shootings and most of all, this is still America not Russia, Venezuela or another Communist country.
As crappy as some of it is, IT IS OUR COUNTRY WHERE WE ARE STILL FREE.

The Ban Hammer fell on him.....
I do know that you could fight with fists and not worry about getting shot later on. They don't fight anymore. They just start shooting.

And this is precisely why the left has already won the debate. The sad thing is I bet you don't even understand how you're becoming part of the problem with that pro nanny state stance.
What else should we gate off and put behind a badge and someone else with guns just so sheeple can feel safe? I know! Let's require badges everywhere. Gotta badge in to get in the truck. Badge in when you get on the interstate. Badge in when you get home. At movie theaters and your favorite head shop. Bagde in before you get on the charter boat or your own personal sailboat too. Everywhere except the voting booth.
They also aren't Muslim friendly if you are keeping record.In before someone says Australia banned 99% of the people there from owning semi automatic rifles in 1996 and does not see these kind of shootings
. BEING safe is for all of us. 60+ years ago, the focus on school safety was fire, fire, fire. .
And the routine tornado drills.Don't forget the nuke drills -
Very nice response, ncstate. I'll reply more later when I'm not on my phone.
Aint that the truth.........These kids are also eating laundry detergent. Not sure when, but somewhere along the way everything in our society went off the rails.
I know I'm very late to the party ... but anybody could see it coming and it made me laugh like hell.Looks like I was right. Bye bye douchebag.
Troll? im making valid points to back up my opinion? If i wanted to troll id say you must be snowflake millennial who cant handle someone disagreeing with them or telling them they are wrong.
In response to Pirate 96 post about Wake County wanting the sheriffs department to look the other way in certain instances, the Florida school district in which this happened had instituted a similar policy with local Law Enforcement so as not o create a "pipeline from high school to prison" for minorities who were engaging in threats , assaults, drug possession etc.
This Cruz kid had been banned from bringing a backpack on campus. Had to keep his stuff in a clear plastic bag. WTF? Sounds to be he had brought something very bad on campus before and had not been properly punished for it. Don't exspel or prosecute poor Nicky. Make him expose what contraband he has on campus and tell him it's a "no,no".
I would love to know what he brought that instigated to book bag ban. Anybody want to bet it's never revealed what it was ?
