Gun store owner says shooter who killed 2 schoolchildren showed no warning signs before attack

The shooter who killed two schoolchildren and injured 21 other people at a Catholic church in Minneapolis visited a suburban gun shop the weekend before the attack, but the owner of the store said Thursday that his staff saw no warning signs in their interactions. Gun store owner Kory Krause told The Associated Press that Robin Westman spent around 40 minutes at Frontiersman Sports in St. Louis Park on Aug. 23 and appeared completely at ease. A surveillance video showed Westman examined several guns before ultimately buying a revolver.

What the hell? If you pass a bloody background check and you're not a felon you'd better be able to buy the gun if it's for sale. Warning signs? Head shrinks in court?

So what if the guy's "at ease" or not? Maybe he needs to go to the bathroom, or his kids are in the car, or his dog died, or he has to get back to work, or any of a number other issues that simply aren't your business if you're selling guns.

Once you've sold a gun or any other item, you no longer have control over it or what the buyer does with it, good or evil.

Krause said his employees have extensive experience in picking out bad actors, straw purchasers, people who are homicidal, suicidal, mentally unstable or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He said nothing stood out with Westman.

Just stop prevaricating and start minding your own business.
