Putting a firearm to someone's head is a crime.

Bringing bullets might well be a crime, were it a firearm, even without bullets, it would have been. Both state and federal, a federal felony.

The biggest issue was his state of mind. Like it or not police, school officials, and the medical community have the right to request a mental health hearing. Were this a sexual threat to someone underage instead of a death threat, they would have been required to report it under law. At that point the system progresses. He's held, voluntarily or involuntarily (that's committed) for 2 or 3 days to determine if he's a danger to self or others. If the answer is no, it's over. If it's yes, he loses his gun rights. Ultimately the shrinks do make the decision, but only if the judge follows it. IMO, the problem with that is that it's a potentially lifetime ban with no recourse. But the process is lawful and provides due process. As well as loss of the firearm, maybe temporarily, and confinement up front. I argee teachers should be allowed to carry, but that's a state and district issue.

Did you know that there was no criminal complaint on this murderer? zero. You have to have a criminal com,plaint on probable cause. We don’t just “call in” to go scoop people up! If that is the case let’s call in the youth in Chicago!!. But you and I agree to train arm and pay teachers to prevent this scenario ever again and Trump is with us on that but that does not abrogate our due process right in any way. That will not be allowed. Due process FIRST!!
