Joe became POTUS. Bottom line is that Ramos should NOT have been able to obtain an assault weapon.

It's not bullying that is the common thread among mass shooters. It is hatred of women, as another person here said. I was bullied as a kid. So were a lot of us. School kids are mean, tribal assholes. It has always been that way. The availability of guns and misogyny and racism are bigger issues. The Buffalo shooter wanted to murder as many black people as possible.

Sorry but bullying - in my admittedly worthless opinion - isn't the issue.
