BREAKING: Shooting at Conn. Elementary School

[Midwest Spy]

Interesting that the system seemed to work insofar as he attempted to purchase a weapon, and was denied during the background check.

For sure. Or more likely, he decided he didn't want to wait for the 7 day period (or whatever the length is) to get his weapons.

Decided it'd be easier to use mom's I guess.

In most (if not all) of the recent spree killings, the weapons used have been legally obtained.

So, if that's the case, how do we prevent crimes like this from happening again?

Or is the answer what I wrote here 6 months or a year ago:

You just have to hope that you or your loved one won't be an innocent victim of a spree killer.

That's right. Hope is your only defense.
