All righty. So the fallout from the Buffalo shooting continues.

We now know that the laws that were on the books should have prevented this from happening.

But of course, they didn't because there are always a bunch of red flags that go up.

And the red flag logs are rarely taken advantage of.

According to NBC News, less than a year after a white teenager in upstate New York was investigated for making a threatening statement in school, he legally purchased a firearm, which is accused of using to gun down 10 black people in a racist rampage, according to the authorities. The massacre at Topps Friendly Market in Buffalo on Saturday should have been thwarted by New York's red flag law, which aims to stop people from buying or possessing firearms when they show they are threats to themselves or others, according to gun policy experts. There was a law on the books that should have stopped all of this. Instead, after the shooter appeared on the radar of New York State Police in June, over a chilling comment about a murder suicide he made in the classroom while still a minor, he was evaluated, cleared, paving the way for him to legally buy the semi-automatic rifle he's accused of using in the shooting 11 months later, according to law enforcement officials and New York's governor.

No official involved in the investigation in June initiated a court process that could have helped prevent the shooter from buying a rifle, according to the New York State Police.

Now state legislators are looking to whether those involved followed the proper protocol.

Apparently, according to the governor, a teacher had asked the shooter about his plans just before the start of summer vacation last year, and he responded, I want to murder and commit suicide, which is a weird answer to what do you plan to do this summer.

School officials immediately alerted the cops. Then the shooter underwent a psychiatric evaluation was released.

The governor said there was not a specific threat or something that seemed to be actionable,

but the red flag law in New York does empower school administrators, law enforcement officials,

prosecutors, and family members to pursue court intervention when they believe they know

somebody who is at high risk of harming themselves or others.

And then a judge could very quickly issue an extreme risk protection order, an ERPO,

which could order somebody minor adults to surrender any firearms and would put law in place
