Privacy laws and Gun Control

This has been a hard week, I do believe that this week could have been prevented if we had a few different laws. First off the privacy law needs to be changed. As is, it stops good people from reporting bad stuff. Who ever it was, be it teacher, doctor or police that believed that this young man was a danger to himself and possibly to others had that information written down in his file so that the school could have seen it before letting him live on a campus and the gun sellers would have to check out before selling a gun then possibly he would not have had a gun and he would not be on campus. If his record at the school would have recorded that a teacher didn’t want him in his/her classroom and the plays he wrote were too violent for class room work was recorded in his file and again the gun sellers had to check all school records from Kindergarten through college I do believe the gun seller would have said, “No I can’t sell you this gun.” Most employer hiring a person check school records. Why wouldn’t gun sellers have to check school records?

Privacy law needs changing.
Gun Control laws need tweaking.
College recruiters need to be more vigilant.
