House passes school gun violence bill

[BjornF16]

Apparently you do not understand the issue. Cruz was not a GCA "prohibited person." He legally owned the AR15 he used to commit the crime. Ditto for Stephen Paddock in Las Vegas.

In order to stop nut cases like Cruz, Paddock, and others "who should not be getting any guns from getting guns in the first place" (as Paul Ryan said), new standards will be necessary.

Apparently you should be more precise in the question you pose. I do understand the issue...he should have been a prohibited person. There were several opportunities for him to have been declared a prohibited person.

E.g. Numerous domestic violence instances; mental defective

Many of these shooters, like Cruz, should have been Prohibited Persons. The failings are typically with local law enforcement or with lack of reporting prohibited persons to NICS. In Cruz's case, both local LE and FBI dropped the ball on numerous occasions. Twice by FBI; seemingly countless times by local LE.

Additionally:
Gabby Giffords shooter was "known" to local law enforcement over drugs and bizarre behaviors...missed opportunities.
Aurora, Colorado theater shooter was known mental defective.
Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooter already met the definition of prohibited person but failed to be reported to NICS by USAF. (Subsequent investigation found over 4,000 former military members with qualifying dishonorable discharges that were never reported to NICS).
Oregon community college shooter was known mental defective.
Virginia Tech shooter...known mental defective.

Ryan didn't name Paddock...don't think he named anyone in particular with the quote above. But he could have named quite a few that, under current law, shouldn't have had access to guns.

Would it have stopped all? Heavens no...Paddock was definitely a sleeper.

Personally, I'd rather they do a better job at enforcing current laws versus making new laws that won't be enforced.
