Too soon to "politicize"?
Again, this was not a teenager secretly stewing and tricking everyone into thinking he was not a violent threat. Cruz made it abundantly clear that he wanted to harm people and that he was obsessed with getting the weapons to do so.
Yet nothing in Florida's gun laws — which have been loosened by decades of NRA-funded Republican control to the point they barely exist — would prevent him not only from buying guns but also from buying the most deadly military-style weapons available on the market.
Gov. Rick Scott's avowed position on preventing mass shootings is
to pray about them. Sen. Marco Rubio is a gun-lobby gremlin.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will promise to pay for funerals but not to stop killings. And President Donald Trump revoked an executive order mandating tighter background checks for the mentally ill before they can buy weapons.
So Nikolas Cruz, who was not allowed to carry a backpack to class, could legally walk into any gun shop in Florida and walk out with the firepower to do what everyone at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High had feared for years that he might do.
Does this surprise anyone?

Just one thing - the journalist over at Miami New Times, Tim Elfrink, seems to concede that Cruz is mentally ill. No he isn't. He's angry and isolated. Anger is common among American men and it is not a mental disorder.
Shhh.. Every time a child dies in a school shooting, an NRA member gets his AR wings.
