There were systemic failures with the FBI and the local sheriff's office. Notice the lack of surprise that it was this monster that shot up the school and not someone else... why? Where did the system fail? What caused this monster to do this?

Instead, it's "BAN AR-15's!" "NRA TERRORISTS!" etc. Yet, when someone uses anything other than a firearm to commit an atrocity, like say the NYC van attack, the focus tends to be where it should be. Why the double standard? Using the left's approach to guns, why aren't they insisting on banning Muslims from entering this country when they've caused so much grief? Could it be perhaps because not all Muslims are terrorists? If so, then why isn't the law-abiding American gun owner given the same consideration? If this monster got into an F-250 with a huge grill guard and killed the same number of kids as they all walked out, would we be shouting for truck control or banning grill guards?

Emotions should be kept out of this.
