Shooting at Nebraska Target highlights gaps in gun laws

Summary by Ground News

Joseph Jones was repeatedly sent to psychiatric hospitals because of his schizophrenia. Last month, Jones opened fire in an Omaha Target store using a legally purchased AR-15 rifle. The episode demonstrates how gun laws fail to keep firearms out of the hands of deeply troubled people. A red-flag law has been proposed for Nebraska this year, but it hasn't received a legislative hearing.
