36 little crimes let go by the cops?
Our justice system is predicated on the notion that people are punished (justice provided) for crimes they commit, not for ones they haven't. If he didn't commit any crimes that would have prevented him from legally purchasing a firearm, then the system worked (from that perspective).
It's a problem with evil people, not guns.

Correct. 36 calls, though indicates something is going on...either the mother needs help, or the son needs help, or both.

Correct. I'm not arguing that he should have been prevented from buying the firearm by the government. I'm making the point that the data was there for people to intervene; and that doesn't mean government intervention.
