Fact: A purchase of 14 weapons in 3 years doesn't trigger an alert

This is not about taking people's guns. It's about sensible gun laws and policing of them. Yeah, have as many guns as you want, but hiding the fact you have them is not infringing on any right. And if you think checking up on well-being of people who are purchasing an arsenal of weapons is against the constitution, I don't agree.

What does it take to trigger an alert that the person purchasing the gun isn't going to use it for violence?

I don't believe there are any real triggers.
