      There were multiple opportunities to take the shooter into custody and make sure he couldn’t own a gun before he ever bought a gun. All it takes is one felony conviction.

      “He had also previously posted violent threats online.[127]”

      "Ramos’ social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos’ account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129] "

      “A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of semi-automatic rifles that were on his wish list. According to a friend of his, he would often drive around at night with another friend, shooting at strangers with a BB gun and egging cars.”

      " On May 14, Ramos sent a private Instagram message reading, “10 more days”. A person responded, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” He replied, “No, stop asking dumb questions. You’ll see.”[127]"

      “According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in September 2021, Ramos asked his older sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.[56]”

      You can get over being mad about that because it will be here longer than you and all the rest of us.

      The right to bear arms is a great freedom that we should all celebrate.
