He bought it recently? That means he lied on his application. But Joe just passed a law to fix this problem......didnt he?

What sort of a violent sicko can "idolize" a killer of innocent children? This guy needs to be locked in an institution until he expires of natural causes, and never, EVER loose in public again.
Perhaps these "depression drugs" are more dangerous than they are beneficial, like many recent pharmacological items.

Psychiatric drugs are involved in most all these shootings from Sandy Hook and beyond. Thanks to the liberals push to slow down hyper active young boys with tons of Ritalin and other drugs and then treat the depressed gamers and snowflakes with who knows what.

#1 is correct. He bought it illegally. Maybe a giant database that could be tapped to see if an applicant had been in a mental health or addiction facility would help. The left would then scream about poor mental patients losing their privacy.

Clearly shows that “nut jobs” should not be able to purchase or own firearms. If his family knew that he is a “nut job” on medication due to mental illness who recently purchase an AR-15 style rifle, why didn’t they contact the police?

"Recently stopped taking his medication..."
If you go back to the ORIGINAL school shooting by a 16 year old female in California in 1979, who had been diagnosed with depression, and also with a brain injury from a blow to the head in a bike accident. She shot up an elementary school in San Diego with an ordinary .22 rifle, killing the principal and a custodian, and wounding eight children and a policeman.
When we look at these spree killers, we almost always discover that they have been diagnosed as having mental problems, or "everyone knew" that they were violent crazies, often for years.
When the soft hearted, soft headed liberals essentially tore down our whole mental health system, starting in the 70s, they unleashed large numbers of dangerous mentally ill people, some of them very violent, upon the normal population. We really do need to rebuild our mental hospital system, and there needs to be a mental prison system portion, too. Some of these people cannot be let run loose, are obviously dangerous, but cannot be executed for acts that they have not done.....yet.

We are missing one important item. He was stopped BEFORE he committed a serious crime. Good job to the staff that passed it on to the PD. Now he can be treated without having the burden of a body count hanging over him.
Rather than lock him up forever (Really??) He can begin his path to healing.

Imagining that locking these people up forever is a problem, is a problem itself. Yes, really.
Healing? This isn't a cut finger this is a defective brain, and I am skeptical that more than a small fraction ever can be normal. And the violent ones....should never be trusted.

FTA:
Aceves' father also said that his son suffered from an unspecified mental health illness and had received in-patient treatment at a facility when he was 16, according to News4.
The man claimed Aceves had recently stopped taking his medication, which he had been on for two years.
He’d been a patient in an inpatient mental health facility. Redently quit the medication he’d been having to take since then. He is at the age when schizophrenia shows up in young men. Can be treated with meds.

Path to healing, #7? Maybe he should take the Sugar Plum Highway and get off at Chocolate Drop Blvd., then go four blocks and turn left at Lollipop Lane. Go to the Candy Cane Pavilion where jolly attendants dressed in faux Beefeater doorkeeper liveries will meet his car. Inside, will be little elves who bake magic cookies and, with time, our murderous Rudolfo will be ready to do missionary work in the Amazon Basin or do rescue swimming for the Coast Guard.
Sorry for the sarcasm but evil is different from illness. Illness is believing your cat is talking to you or wanting to do nothing but sleep all day. Wanting to kill innocent people for fun and fame is not illness and believing that such a person will, with help, necessarily get better is a risk many of his fellow citizens may never be willing to take.

Looks like Al Pacino’s “Scarface.” Pretty intense-looking in that mugshot.

Well one thing is for sure, if sometime in the future we hear about this guy either wanting to kill people, or after he murders some people, it will be hard to not imagine that a lot of people will believe that the mental health services that he was referred to are just another aspect of junk science. Anyone who publicly announces that he wants to murder people should be locked up to ensure that will not happen.

"Can be treated with meds."
"Treated" does not equal cured. I'm skeptical as to what "treated" even means in real terms.
As soon as they stop the meds, they are crazy again. And large numbers report that they don't like they way they feel on the meds, so they stop unless they are in a controlled environment where they must take them.
Personally, I cannot see risking the lives of large numbers of innocent people so that a mental patient can have a bit more comfort. That makes no sense, and it is how we got here.

Had given a girl from work a ride...Tried to "Impress" her by mentioning doing a mass shooting.
He may well be mentally defective, he certainly is SOCIALLY Retarded.

So, dad knew he was nuts and recently bought a rifle. Its time to start charging some of these idiot parents as co-conspirators.

There is a price we pay for the extra thick safety net we live in. Way back in the way back, this guy would have done something stupid and/or insane and gotten killed or injured to death. Nowadays you can step in front of a train and survive.
So we now have a lot of these marginal human beings flooding our world. They are crazier than a pet coon, but look just like anybody else.
When these people are found and diagnosed they should also be documented on a crazybase so we can think before we sell him a gun or explosives or sharp instruments. That sounds horrible even to me, but far too many juvenile records are "sealed" and not available to background checks.
Far too many people are on lifelong psychotropic meds which they have to voluntarily use to stay even relatively sane. The world of our founders was a much clearer place because stupidity and insanity were negatively rewarded early on, usually by nature itself. Really insane people who survived were permanently separated from society. That avenue is no longer available to us.

It occurs to me that the mere fact that the democrat-controlled media hypes ordinary, modern, but scary-looking, semiautomatics as "military" weapons capable of "spraying" "high-powered bullets" (none of which is true) is instrumental in making them the weapon of choice for nut jobs like this character.

May still have bought the gun legally…depends on whether his mental disorder was ever documented properly as to be found in a background check. Can’t recall if you’re asked outright or how you’re asked about your mental state. Maybe he played the Hunter Biden card.

We're glad he was thwarted but mystified that the company managed to hire someone like this. How???

Re #20, for that level of job, if you show up, you're hired, and if you can do the simple jobs that Amazon has, you'll keep it. Not exactly rocket science to stuff and stack boxes.

The arrestee's father said his son was on medication of some sort to manage his mental illness, but had recently stopped taking it. Some of these drugs (SSRIs for one) have side effects that include suicidal, homicidal, and other bizarre ideation when people stop taking them without tapering them off, but that avenue of investigation never goes anywhere even though this is a very common thread in events like this.
