HIPPA?
“...HIPPA...”
Passed during the Clinton crime regime, yes.
But this psychopath kid was clearly a threat and it should have been communicated to law enforcement to prevent him from being able to purchase legally.
Could he have gotten one illegally? Yeah, probably. Anybody who wants one bad enough can get one. But this was made easy for him.
If we’re to have the whole background check thing imposed on us, then it should be followed. This kid should never have been allowed to purchase a gun.
I am not sure but since Cruz was a minor at the time the therapist may have been obligated to discuss this with his parents.
