If the left had its way, this shooting would never have happened.

54. That's up to individual areas and departments

At my old department we were pretty active in it. We I worked domestic violence we always asked victims what guns were there and made sure as part of a sentence the court ordered they surrender or disposed of any firearms. Generally we already had them or they had already been removed because there was a protective order pending the trial.

But, resources are varied as are priorities. And there are varied agencies responsible on different levels.


A big gap is enforcement actions against people barred from owning guns who try and get turned down- committing a felony in the process- is virtually nonexistent. There are tens of thousands of people who can't legally buy a gun who commit perjury on the paperwork and try and get turned away and there is no enforcement against them. It's sheer lunacy to have a person who can't legally buy a gun who is actively trying to buy one who just committed an easy to convict felony and they don't even lift a finger to do anything about it. But that side must be done by the Feds and the BATFE doesn't see that as sexy enough to bother with.
