Can we get a shot of the elbows before everyone jumps to hasty conclusions?

Why isn't it a thing? Could be a ROTC or Academy grad, commissioned as 2LT right out of school, you'd be 20-21 then. Add another 20 years and there you go.41 year old retired officers with 21 years of service are not a thing.
Well, maybe in the world where a two week check in means “involuntarily committed” and “adjudicated mentally incompetent”, and ARs are “high powered” and “weapons of war”.
See. Look at those jabbers. Hard pass.
As far as I know there's only the records at ones PCP office, but I see no other way to redflag these people besides merging the systems. I'm all for HIPAA but whackos can't continue to hide behind it. I don't have all the answers but this should be looked at. Every time there's a shooting like this it hurts us good guys.I could be wrong, but I do not believe there is a national mental health database, at least one that is known to the general public.
I am very opposed to one- as the dems will add "opposing us" as a disqualifying mental condition
But the school is a "Gun Free Zone".I saw this quote "They only have one officer at the school today"
Wonder how many they have at her home?
What ever happened to the Vegas shooter that also had hand written papers etc. scattered about the hotel room? didn’t fit the narrative since he was probably targeting conservatives at a country concert? Crickets…Whatever happened to that transgender shooter in Nashville that targeted schoolkids? No action taken after that, so why the political BS now?
I don't know, maybe at "he said he's been hearing voices"? or "I've contemplated suicide" Start at the big ones and see how many red flags go up. If someone's depressed because of a divorce, no.Where do you draw that line?

Prayers for his dog.Hope the owner of that car survives his SWATing.
Of course you can't fill the BOD with nothing but liberals. You need an even split or with only medical professionals that remain impartial. It'll have to be like a jury where actual evidence is involved.But one problem with this line of thinking - 'keeping guns out of the wrong hands', and please don't take offense, as none is intended. I'm just making a point - is that the minute you allow anyone - ANYONE - to decide who is 'normal' and/or 'mentally sound' and/or maybe has 'the wrong hands' (as the Libs/Dems/.gov/media etc often refer to it/to them/to us/to you/the 2A/etc whenever they go off on one of their Wingnut tangents) is that they undoubtedly will COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY ABUSE that power, and use it against all of us to simply 'decide' who is 'suitable' and/or 'worthy' (etc etc) of a Constitutional right. Just ask anyone who lives in a 'Red' town in Massachusetts about the, um, 'discretion' used by Police Chiefs when they 'decide' who is 'allowed' to exercise their Constitutional right and protect themselves, their families etc etc etc....
Just sayin'
Maybe he had a connection to the trans shooter? Or Epstein? Or the Clintons? Or the CIA??All that stuff is safely hidden away with his hdd.

Official answer: I haven't got a freakin clue.Hypothetical question.
If you did do something like this, how would you get away with it? I would think that it would be much harder these days than years ago. License plate readers, computers, credit card tracking, TV and social media would make it hard to evade authorities.
They had matching boots and everythingDid this guy really pull the perfect movie secret agent style escape after offing over two dozen people? It's disappointing the Maine Delta boys couldn't do anything.
Rather than a Glock 45, maybe bust out the plate kit and lock n' load a 308 AR or a M1A
It depends. MA state mental health workers are union and on a pay scale that goes up and up every year of employment. They make a hell of a lot more than mental health workers in the private sector. When I worked inpatient psych as a unit manager at a private psych hospital, I made a little north of $15 an hour. Not worth it. I now work in long term care and make close to 90k.So, on the low end, a full time mental health worker in MA makes only about 60% of minimum wage, while the average mental health worker makes barely over minimum wage? Are they tipped employees or something?
How do some zoom session therapists get away with not taking insurance, cash only, and bill $250-300 to listen to a patient talk for 45 min?It depends.

You don’t transport the dead, could be one reason.How many Ambulances were dispatched? I saw only one in any feed... And It looked like a EMT/Firedept box sitting blocks away at an intersection. Why were all life-flights sent back?
Yeah, I said that to my wife last night. The Army doesn't really have "firearms instructors." They have "NCOs." That's where soldiers learn weapons handling.
not to defend the creep but he did have training from army most average looneys dontDid this guy really pull the perfect movie secret agent style escape after offing over two dozen people? It's disappointing the Maine Delta boys couldn't do anything.
It’s more likely that he killed himself in the woods somewhere and they haven’t found the body yet, than he has the skills of Batman in disappearing. I suppose it could happen, but he would have had to plan his escape, and I don’t know if that guy was mentally in a position to do that.Did this guy really pull the perfect movie secret agent style escape after offing over two dozen people?
