Re: “If the school would have had him arrested for violence, the record would have probably prevented him from the gun purchase.”

That raises an interesting question.

Are juvenile records completely expunged at age 18?

When a gun shop runs your criminal background check, does everything pre-18 come up blank?

If he was charged with adult crimes or any crime with punishment over a year, they should show up on a NICS check.

The problem is between the Broward County school boardl and the Broward County Sheriff, they didn't WANT to arrest any teens and risk giving them a felony record, because they they couldn't vote (D).

Here is the Broward County Sheriff bragging about how he doesn't arrest teen law breakers:
