    Banks Are Devising Ways to ID Mass Shooters Before They Strike - Bloomberg

    The CEO of Amalgamated is functionally retarded. The systems don't give them the data they'd need to be able to "ID mass shooters before they strike". All they're going to be able to do is flood their reporting paths with suspicious activity reports on everyone who buys something from an FFL. It'll be useless junk data that will be ignored because it's utterly useless.

    This is a transparent attempt to hassle gun owners, just like most gun control measures are. Buy something from the local sporting goods store using a credit card? That'll generate a suspicious activity report.

    Psychiatrists say it is virtually impossible to accurately asses a future mas killers. Maybe the CEO can help them out. You are correct. This is just one more stab at getting rid of guns

    I make a purchase from a gun store several times a month. What can be done with this information?

    Whatever the banks are up to, it has nothing to do with helping people, and everything to do with controlling the flow of wealth, probably in their direction.

    Maybe they expect police to actually act on this information, and conduct searches without adequate cause, or deprive individuals of their rights. Something that may actually happen.

    This is just a way to identify individuals who buy guns and circumvent the normal legal process that would be required to identify the individuals.

    Rather than being "totally useless", this is a cause for concern.

    I can easily see police in some corrupt Democrat areas planting evidence to be able to get search warrants, trying to see if the buyer of that gun might have been "up to anything", or even as an excuse to confiscate their guns.

    Keep in mind the culture in these areas already views any gun owners with suspicion.

    The thing is (and this is what information a lot of people do not understand), any information can be misused. Just because you are not doing anything that is not illegal does not mean you have no cause to be concerned about government getting information about you.

    I already posted a story from D.C. about how local police were angry about a man for posting a video seeming to show him flaunting and carrying a gun in a public place in defiance of the local law, so just based on that video they got a search warrant, planted a little bag of drugs, and were able to force the man into a plea bargain and he lost his right to be able to own guns.

    There is already a limit of 1 per month here in CA. Big 5 is a gun store and I shop there on a regular bases for non-firearm related purchases.

    The guy that thought of this should not be allowed to buy sharp objects!

    The Federal government has pressured UPS to no longer accept firearms shipments from individuals. I just found this out trying to ship a firearm to the manufacturer for warranty service. Not a showstopper as I repaired the firearm myself. The liberal end game is clear. Rather than have the Cajones and honesty to amend the Constitution, libs are going to attempt other means to acheive their goal of subverting the 2nd Amendment.

    Any real or should I say classic liberal would be appaled at the development of "detection scenarios" to trigger government reporting. Not too many of those people left I would suspect.

    If it is "ignored" how exactly are people going to be hassled by it? Can't really have it both ways on that one.

    It's a violation of the Constitution. It shouldn't be allowed.

    Friends and Family reporting them is the best we can do sadly

    and often these people keep their thoughts to themselves, so even friends and family do not know

    we had a mass shooter that was a member here, no one could tell, no way we could of known

    that limit clearly violates the BRUEN holding. people need to file a suit and that crap will get flushed. you cannot have a right held up because you exercised the right in the past

    I don't think non-licensed people could send firearms even to licensed entities through US Mail. I always had to use FED EX or UPS

    Correct. I have purchased every single gun, scope, ammo, and accessories with case. An added bonus it keeps the wife out of the loop. Suppose to match purchases of gun with jewelry and I don't want to spend that much on jewelry.

    My post was about UPS and in the past they would ship a gun to the manufacturer for warrant work. You had to properly label the gun and ship from a distribution center, not a drop box, and send to an FFL. Now you can no longer do this.

    Problem isn’t solved, but that’s a valid path to avoid this stupidity.

    sadly, yes he did

    "Louisiana Theater Shooter Praised Fundamentalist Muslims, Signed Up On Tea Party Page, And Quoted Hitler"

    http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/24/l...igned-up-on-tea-party-page-and-quoted-hitler/

    "And in another, Houser cheered Muslim extremists for defending their religion.

    “Yes it’s true, Muslims are alone in shutting down liberals that mock their God. They have my complete Christian respect.”"

    he was a twitter user too

    https://twitter.com/jrustyhouser/status

    "The Westboro Baptist Church may be the last real church in America"

    the above tells us the kind of Christian he was....

    there are common indicators of most mass shooters: they include an individual who is a loner, misunderstood, perhaps bullied, has domestic family violence that they are a victim of, and a few others. I am not saying it is 100% accurate, but you can see that with the Virginia Tech shooting, the Parkland shooting, the Uvalde Shooting, the Batman movie theater shooting, and a whole bunch of others. Then you have outliers such as the Las Vegas Shooting and the Walmart shooting. We call this predictable behavior. If you are married, your own spouse will know through your behavior whether or not you are telling the truth or acting "funny."
