As the retailer of the weapon(s) one has final say on if they will transfer the weapon. I have sold hundreds of guns over the years working in an FFL business. I have refused to sell to 6 people because their stories didn’t add up. One was a ATF informant I found out later.

As far as this murderer is concerned, I am pretty sure (based upon the images) that he would of required extra scrutiny from myself and my employer prior to the sale, if we decided to sell to him.

Not every thing requires law to ban it. Personal responsibility comes into play at some point. I know the person that sold some of the weapons to the Las Vegas shooter. He was a repeat customer that everyone, at the gun counter, liked. It is an imperfect system.

You want people to be flagged for possible mental illness based on appearance/dress? Yikes.

Article never says where he got the money (assuming that he paid cash). Or if he already had a credit card, which he knew he would never pay back.

“an online retailer shipped 1,740 rounds of 5.56mm 75-grain boat tail hollow point [bullets] to his doorstep, at a cost of $1,761.50,’’

I can get those at a little more than half that cost.

A much more interesting thing for the media to look into would be why more than 300 trained, heavily armed adult men stood around for an hour while the kid who just bought a couple of rifles was killing children and teachers.

How does one make that many adult men behave in such a bizarre and unreasonable manner?

You’re right. Looks reveal that different people have different tastes as far as clothing, hair style, tattoos, etc. They also reveal that they might have different amounts of money. Just because someone likes a neck tattoo because they think it makes them look tough or cool doesn’t mean you should infringe upon their rights. And just because someone looks like they have “dead eyes” whatever the eff that is supposed to mean, likewise doesn’t mean you should infringe upon their god-given rights. The “dead eyes” look could be caused from something as simple as being on allergy medicine where the anti-histamine is making the person feel sleepy or out of it. I know if my allergies are acting up and I take something like Claritin for them it almost always does this to me.

The question isn’t whether he could have made enough money to buy the weapons, ammo & body armor.

It’s whether or not it’s reasonable to assume he was frugal and responsible enough to save up that amount of money after paying for all of his tats and dope.

Yes , I want people flagged for appearances. Start with neck tats, chains hanging, nose and tongue piercings, foul language in public and agitated behaviors. Call me a Nazi, I’ll bet 90% of the mentally ill would be off the streets if society had decency standards enforced.

In several articles it stated he lived rent free with his grandma
And he shot his grandma who asked him to pay his own cell bill so he wasn’t even paying that.
He had no car so no gas, ins etc
Clothing? Lol come on. Jeans and t-shirts
He had a goal that he admitted to his co workers at Wendys.

Appearance matters. If someone looks like a total loser, no one should allow their daughter to date.

Make an effort. Everyone else in the world does. You are not special.
Repeat: you are not special. Being told you are by another loser just makes both of you total TWOT’s.

M&Dad had no questions?

This is sorta like the “parents” who give their kid a PC and let them have it behind a locked bedroom door.
Gessh. Why not just hand them a box of matches?

Losers breed losers.

It boggles the mind that someone like you feels at home on a site that stands for individual liberty while you want people removed from society who don’t adhere to your standards of acceptable appearance.

I agree
He was obsessed and his family enabled him.
Who wants to admit your child/ grandson is dangerously ill?
