how hard is for someone from California to buy a gun in another state?
In texas we did not let anyone with a CA identification and address purchase a gun.
how hard is for someone from California to buy a gun in another state?
Five states — California, Connecticut, Indiana, Washington and Oregon — have enacted "red-flag" laws that empower relatives and close friends, as well as law enforcement officers, to ask judges to issue "gun violence restraining orders."
Aghdam's father, Ismail, said she had been missing for several days and was located by police in Mountain View, California, early Tuesday morning. He told the Mercury News that he had informed police his daughter might be going to YouTube because she "hated" the company.
A spokesperson for the Mountain View Police Department confirmed that officers made contact with Aghdam.
"Officers located an adult female by the same name asleep in a vehicle in a Mountain View parking lot early this morning," Mountain View spokesperson Katie Nelson told BuzzFeed News in an email. "The woman confirmed her identity to us and answered subsequent questions."
I'm with you that something has to be done. I'm also concerned about increasing the stigma of mental illness, since we already have about 60% of mentally ill people not in treatment - partially because of access, but also because societal admission of mental illness carries with it a huge price. In the long run, I don't think it's possible for any set of laws to stop deeply ill people or people who are incredibly angry from engaging in violence. Limiting access to guns overall would help. So would mental health care access. So would taking guns away from people who have engaged in domestic abuse or assault. But it's important to realize what those mean. If you target domestic abusers and assaulters, you're now talking about taking away guns from a lot of cops and a lot of soldiers, both of whom have higher than average domestic abuse rates. If we're talking about ratcheting down the limit of mental illness from being committed to, say, forcible reporting from therapists, you're not only going to catch literally millions of false positives, you're going to drive people away from seeking therapy. It's a complicated issue that can be addressed on a lot of fronts, and I find it bizarre that anyone thinks "fixing" mental illness is somehow easier than removing guns. We have dozens and dozens of examples of countries that have done the latter, and no examles of the former.Very true, it's a very complex situation, but something must be done. I'm talking annual mental check ups on gun holders or something.
Something has to be done at least.
The same kind that was implemented in Australia New Zealand and I think the UK in response to a mass shooting.What gun control would have stopped this? The only one I can think of is banning all handguns and somehow magically taking away the 300m+ that exist in the country currently.
What exactly were they supposed to do?wow damn maybe before we debate NRA and gun control we figure out why cops interviewed the lady but let her go. Asleep in her car, a few hours before the shooting because her dad called the cops and said he was concerned she may go attack youtube

"Nasim the Persian Azeri female vegan bodybuilder, also animal rights activist promoting healthy and humane living. Nasim produced and launched the first Persian TV commercial and music video (Do You Dare) regarding animal rights and veganism through international Iranian satellite Television in 2010," reads the "About" section on her YouTube channel.
huh
Arrest the brown woman based on.. being angry at Youtube. That would have gone over really well.
It was a 9mm pistol. These will always be legal in America.Jesus Christ. That's terrible to see.
US really needs to regulate guns.
Yeah she was clearly not in the right mental state fucking hell

Her videos are something else....

It's very reminiscent of the cringe videos that hit forums or that end up going viral. She very clearly isn't some ISIS-affiliated terrorist.
This thread is exhibit Q in why I can't take this community seriously for following serious, breaking news events. Relentless shitting up of legitimate, interesting discussion and actual news with bizarro NRA conspiracy theories and woke forum posturing with precious few productive bans or warnings.

You gotta be kidding me, we actually have a fucking law for this type of thing.

I cannot believe there was a mass shooter potentially because of the demonetisation of YouTube vids...what a world we live in....
Did she really have an intended target and did that intended target even know her personally?
It's really baffling that the suspect was actually a disgruntled YouTuber, pure insanity.
San Bruno police identified the suspect late Tuesday as Nasim Najafi Aghdam, 39, who was found dead from what authorities believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini three people were transported to local hospitals with gunshot wounds.
The San Bruno Police Department said it is investigating a motive for this shooting. Earlier reports indicated the suspect may have known one of the victims, but police said late Tuesday that "at this time there is no evidence that the shooter knew the victims of this shooting or that individuals were specifically targeted."
According to local police, who have confirmed her as the shooter, there was no specific target. It was not a domestic/personal issue.

I'm really not sure why people are blaming the cops in this scenario. They had no reason to arrest her.
Eww. She is a vegan? I think at this point vegetarian should be treated as mental illness
This wasn't terrorism though.

Her videos are pretty telling. She was obviously off her goddamn rocker. Why did she have access to a gun?
Well. Let's not talk about that.. it's a bit tricky to answer. But i personally believe people need enough nutrients to think straight. Lack of nutrients or stuff can be one of factors that affects the way people think and behave
In this case if she is a vegetarian, why is she a vegetarian? Is she trying to harm herself? I dont find any reason for someone should be a vegetarian, unless she is allergic to meat which is extremely rare.

Welp, something might be wrong with your diet then.Well. Let's not talk about that.. it's a bit tricky to answer. But i personally believe people need enough nutrients to think straight. Lack of nutrients or stuff can be one of factors that affects the way people think and behave

Relating it to this event, i think there is a possibility that being vegetarian affects her state of mind thay she decided to do this

Yes, that is trolling. Suggesting the only reason to be vegetarian is because of allergies... that is not a sincere comment.Of all the bad takes in this thread, this one takes the cake. Just, you have to be trolling with this.

I feel that way about a lot of youtubers. There are people out there that do this and have no other viable options as a career...If you didn't know what she did, and you just watched those videos, you'd think she was doing a really funny Tim and Ericesque bit. Well, to be fair i still can't 100% tell if she was doing a bit or that was just her derangedness showing.
Such a weird fucking thing.
