Tom lives in Oregon, where coastal Liberals think that police, rather than criminals are the problem. It sounds like in this case they really are; not because of what they do, but because of what they don't do. Oregon has such screwy laws, they may not be allowed to do anything.
Ah! OK, thanks! I appreciate the information. I wish I had an easy solution to offer him. There is absolutely no doubt that some people should NOT be allowed to have weapons. The problem is identifying them and using due process to remove the threat, and do so WITHOUT infringing on law abiding citizen's rights. I have no ready solution, other than to say that I recognize bad and unworkable "solutions" when they are proposed.
