Looking for the Next ‘Known Wolf’ Mass Shooter

Let me weigh in here.

Multiple school shooters have threatened not only their schools, but individuals, both in and out of the schools, including the Buffalo shooter.

To threaten someone’s life is an assault. To threaten that you will use a firearm to carry out your intent should be considered assault with a deadly weapon. Both are illegal. Depending on the circumstances, both are probably felonies. So, potential shooter has two felonies to contend with just by uttering and/or printing the threat.

Such threats are legitimate grounds for red flag proceedings, at a minimum. But, let’s follow due process. Arrest the perp for his terroristic threats, lock him up, get a warrant and a red flag process going, search his home, and confiscate his weapons.

That should have, could have, stopped the Buffalo shooter, as well as some of the other mass shooters.
