This is an excellent piece. Simple, brief lists of facts, incredible images of weapons. The images add tremendous impact. As do the circumstances of the acquisitions, spoiler alert: they were legal. Mass shootings are less of an anomaly now. They've gained momentum. Each event and gunman microprocessed ad nauseam on TV, for hours for several days, feeds and fills some vacant mind somewhere. The system in place does nothing to prevent these acquisitions - as such the system only serves to document them for future reference. When the FBI and reporters show up.

Criminal histories and documented mental health problems did not prevent at least eight of the gunmen in 14 recent mass shootings from obtaining their weapons.
