going out on a limb here hoping this wasn't a private transaction and thinking this was totally preventable...



line "f" asks if the applicant has been adjudicated as mentally deficient or commited to a mental facility which was not the case... she was taken to a mental facility but not ordered to one by a court...

further, while in new mexico she was observed by neighbors and authority alike to be in la - la land but nothing was done about it...

It's unclear when San Marco's mental problems took hold. In 1995 she was healthy enough to pass a psychological exam and be hired as a dispatcher for the Santa Barbara Police Department.

She left after just four months, but police Lt. Paul McCaffrey said turnover is high among dispatchers and San Marco's departure was not related to any performance issues.

San Marco also passed a background check to become a part-time employee at the Goleta mail sorting center. Tabala described her as standoffish but said initially she didn't show any signs of mental illness.

That changed. On Feb. 5, 2001, sheriff's deputies removed her from the center and took her to a mental health facility in Ventura for three days of assessment.

She returned to work, Tabala said, but several employees told him she was talking to herself and making racist remarks. He and a union shop steward talked to management, and her job ended soon after that...
linkage

had she been, evidence would have been available to the gun dealer that would have stopped the sale of the gun (assuming the gun was purchased after the looniness started)...

all the gun dealer does with this form is keep it on file for inspection by authorities in case something like this does happen...

the batfe keeps a database of millions of these forms in hopes of stopping the purchase by felons, illegals, and others as well as solving crimes comitted with firearms...

that's after the fact...

i own guns and have owned guns since i was 10... i advocate the right to own them and will do so till the outlaw them...

but, as shown in this case the government failed it's own system, she wrote "no" in the box and it wasn't checked out if she lied... how would the gun dealer know if she's being truthful or not... the locals knew she was wacko but did nothing about it when they had the opportunity to...

and now 7 people are dead...

i don't care if her motive is racist or not - that's not the issue here...

you don't put the leash on the dog after he bites someone
