chance. frank, if somebody walked into a gun store and seemed sweaty or looked nutty, would they be denied a gun? does it work in practice? look, most responsible seasoned gunshop owners understand some of these warning signs. they ve been visited by their local police, the fbi, atf. the responsible gun ownler call a time-out even perhaps feign some delay with the background check, the automated check and try to get help. that s what they should do. we re a society baby steps. what many people can agree on is enforcing the laws we have in place now. if president trump claims to be a law and order president, staff up the bureau of alcohol, tobacco abfirearms with resources it needs to enforce existing laws. that would be a huge step and few people could disagree with. i want to mank matt bennett and anita kumar and clarence page. what a group. the news, here it is.
have anything. thank you, tommy. tammy leitner with the students there. frank feg lew zi, former assistant director for counter intelligence at the fbi and national security analyst. thank you, so much for coming in. i don t know what to say. this is happening again and again uniquely in this country, the pattern is motive, someone very much alienated, angry at society. high school is tough. with the availability of semi-automatic weapons and multiple ammunition, multiple and munition of magazines, it s fairly easy to put it together and one person did today. frank? chris, i want to talk to everybody out there who is wondering what they can do. we ve certainly got into the gun control issue. and people need to work that out. that rests largely with congress. i want to talk to folks who say i want something to do now. it s time to start equipping our
these youksters before they turn violent. suppose there s a kid on social media, i want to get those kids who won t let me sit at their table or whatever the hell is. high school can be rough. so they re angry. what do you do with them? one really important thing. sandy hook promises the group that copy out of the tragedy does incredible works in schools to do exactly what you were talking to congresswoman wasserman-schultz about. teaming kids when their friends are going off the rails. the second thing is, we ve got to make sure background checks are universal. it s insane they re not. frank, you re the expert. how do you know the point of danger? . from aspirational fantasy to acting how and getting more specific about your target anderson how you do it. even if your taken ser blocking you from their twitter account, block you from their facebook account, their friends are in
well. what are the civil liberties restrictions on that? it makes perfect sense. at some point are you allowed to surveil people like that that are troubled. a lot of the kids don t fit in and reach the point of getting gun. that is the breaking point. you can look for signs prior to that. yeah, there s no question it s proven that people aren t just snapping. if you study and believe me the secret service and fbi have studied every one of these incidents and there were always similar warning signs and indicators right down to the sites they search on the internet and music that s listened to. we need to teach that to educators, counsellors and step up. with regard to warning other schools in the area, they do it for pedophile teachers. there s a system in place for pedophile priests. when someone has mental health issues and poses a danger to others there needs to be a database in the school district that cautions the surrounding schools. you re going to start something with tha
it. they know it. if we equip kids with indicators and star peer counseling groups to notify those counselors when they see it amongst their friends, it will work. modern social media could help us, frank? it s the biggest warning sign and its indicator you ll have. i guarantee you when they go into this student s home and pull his computer, their hair will be curled. it s not going to be pretty and very similar to what we ve seen in past incidents. clinically the fact that a person is so angry they have to express it somehow socially. they don t keep it to themselves. it s not contained particularly in a teenager. there s extra warning signs because of the emotional nature of being a teenager. it s there. we need to key in on where we find it and get people equipped to locate it, identify it and stand up and say something about it. because of i think our shared pessism about gun control, we d better attack itting from this
