7. Was the Pulse attacker on the terrorist watch or some list of no-fly?

Sorry, but I've not kept up on the details and a quick read of the story didn't seem to reveal that.

Typically as these post-attack narratives mature interest turns from the event to interest in risk mitigation of future events.

The path of such narratives often diverge from direct connections to the details of the event and go off in directions to other risks that may or not be closely related

Your question is irrevelent. If one is on the terror list one shouldn't be able to purchase weapon. Scuba Jun 2016 #6

I don't know. Any comment on the OP? Scuba Jun 2016 #8

That -was- related to your OP. It was an attempt to understand it's connection to Pulse HereSince1628 Jun 2016 #9

No connection to Pulse that I'm aware of. Scuba Jun 2016 #10

Any comment on the rest of my attempt to reply to your request for greater reply? HereSince1628 Jun 2016 #11

If I understand your earlier post, this OP would be of the latter variety. Scuba Jun 2016 #12

Yes, it is. But what about the balance of benefits/costs using 'lists' to invoke prior restraint? HereSince1628 Jun 2016 #13

The issue of the list is addressed in both the OP and my comments. Scuba Jun 2016 #14
