The individual, every state for itself, every county for itself thing is not working. I don’t mean regarding MH— regarding ANYTHING.   

Exactly. It is fucking ridiculous that we can't offer straight, cohesive, free mental health services along with fucking healthcare.

And the gun laws! We are not United States at all. It’s such an absurd oxymoron.

Family issues apology.

Remember his psych hold? Police seized a shotgun from his house at the time and declined to ever return it to him. But the weapons used to murder these poor people? Assault rifles bought legally last summer. Just months after a gun had been confiscated from him.

More about buying the fucking rifles legally.

Again, removing his name because fuck him.

The authorities themselves deserve prosecution A) if they didn’t enact the red flag law in his case and B) for the loophole.

Yet he went on to obtain more firearms, despite Indiana’s red-flag law aimed at keeping such weapons out of the hands of potentially dangerous people. Under that law, a measure adopted and debated in many states, officials can confiscate someone’s weapon and then argue to a judge that the person should be prevented for some time from having a gun. Indianapolis police said Saturday night that they cannot say why he was not barred from purchasing the weapons under red-flag laws or whether authorities had pursued it.

Police would not say Saturday where he bought the rifles he used in his attack.
The Marion County prosecutor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about whether authorities sought to use the red-flag law against him.

Under Indiana’s red-flag measure, authorities have two weeks after seizing a gun to go before a judge. But a red-flag case can stretch months as the person who lost the firearm makes their own case, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears told a local news station last February. During that time, the person can buy another gun — a “loophole” that Mears urged lawmakers to fix.
