Are you purposely leaving out the part where they refused to take away his weapons or did you not read this?

Even if we can somehow construe his own mother refusing to press charges with Democrats being lenient on crime (which is objectively an insane logical jump) we are left with the fact that they were aware he was a psychopath and that he had these weapons and that the “Red Flag Laws” prevented authorities from seizing his weapons. Who do you think fought to have these caveats (which make the laws borderline useless) included?
