One of the interesting things in all this, talking about the FBI an everything, is what could the FBI actually have done? A lot of times there are warning signs and things are sent to law enforcement, but with current laws the FBI is limited in its authority as to what it can do. If the person has not committed a crime, are they able to detain them? They can't prevent them from purchasing a firearm. The laws regarding making threats often require very specific things to be said in order to be indicted.
I'm not sitting here saying that we should be stripping people of their civil liberties because of mere suspicion, I am just genuinely curious what people think law enforcement could have done to prevent these mass shootings that they had tips about.
