I thought it was sadly humorous that in the Annapolis shooting, a
*cop* who "investigated" the shooter some years ago determined he was
not dangerous. Police, even in an upscale area like Annapolis, aren't
trained to make a qualfified determination in regard to behaviors or
outright threats that aren't completely overt.

That seems to be how it works everywhere. The cops control the
buy/don't buy list
