"The guy had an AR-15, 2 pistols, and over 700 rounds of ammunition. He is also a felon."

In what reality should we not be concerned about this? Reasonable gun laws should prevent this so my bet is none of those were purchased legally. Then again, he is in Arizona...

He could have purchased them from a private owner.

Loopholes exist in both ways of purchasing and would never be flagged for follow up. Teh sellers in either instance cannot be held accountable under most state and federal laws.

There must be a place of honor in TrumpWorld for this fast-track, world-class loser. Trump and insanity go together, cloven hoof in cloven hoof.

(Note: I do not take ANY death threats lightly.)
