This is what's wrong with the news these days.

Now we see that this guy in Washington bought his firearms legally but, had already been arrested, not once but, several times for weapon related crimes. I understand that lone wolves who some attack like this are not easily stopped before doing their crime, but here we have two cases where I have the feeling that more could have been done.

I believe the two incidents were separated by time and distance. Neither was elevated to a felony. I'm not sure if charges were even filed in either case. One, he shot out the tires of a truck parked in his driveway. The other, he claimed that his gun accidentally discharged. And, it turns out it just happened to discharge in a way that just missed a women in the apartment below him in which he had a dispute.

We have the benefit of hind sight.
