If we're not careful, something like this could backfire; hoplophobes could use this kind of thing to justify banning these guns completely. "This shows how anybody can just walk into a gun store and buy one."Crusius legally purchased the gun used in the shooting, police said.
His mother, Lori Lynn Crusius, called police a few weeks before the shooting because she was concerned about her son owning an AK-47 style rifle. The family’s attorney said the call was “purely informational” adding there was “absolutely no fear of violence nor any belief of an intent to do harm” prompting her phone call. Her concerns were based on her son’s age, maturity and lack of experience handling a gun, attorneys Chris Ayres and R. Jack Ayres told CNN.
Police told her that based on her description of the situation, Crusius was legally allowed to purchase the gun.
