5. Yes, but we don't know WHAT went wrong with the gun-buy

relative to the shooter buying the gun. What part of the implementation of the law worked? What didn't work.

Write all the angry tough-guy emotional rant you want. It's an emotion time. But that really takes us nowhere toward the truth. It only gives us insight into what drives your response. Understandable, yes, but not so helpful in prevention tomorrow.

Although you proclaim it, the world doesn't really yet know if the shooter was a "NUT".

Saying he's a nut, is more a statement of confirmation of your inability to grasp what else could have possibly motivated him in this crime.

At this point we have lots of rage, but no real understanding if he was a "NUT" sensu standards of diagnosis for the American Psychological Association.

If he was mentally disordered what diagnosis did he have? An answer to that should be approachable.

Our inability to understand his motivations really isn't proof that he was NUTS and should have been diagnosed previous to his gun-buy or previous to yesterday's shooting.

If he WAS clinically 'NUTS' with a diagnosable disorder why wasn't it diagnosed? Therapists are REQUIRED BY LAW to report if they believe a client is dangerous to him/her self or to others? What happened around Uvalde that there never was a diagnosis that should have happened if he was so clearly 'NUTS'????????

You make presumptions with great certainty about things which are, at this time, very poorly understood. I'm sure that reduces your own uncertainties about what happened. I'm not so sure your 'bull puckey' accusations really takes anyone closer to truth or resolution.
