A serious question

First I am for UBC and have no big issues using the Bush watch lists to prevent firearms purchases as long as due process rights are not infringed.

Would these have prevented Sandy Hook, columbine, San Bernardino, Orlando, Virginia Tech?

Please name one mass shooting that would have been prevented, please be honest.

Once again, put this into law but please do not think it will prevent most mass shooting events.
