The fact this guy (allegedly) scouted Hotels overlooking Lolla in Chicago and Fenway is fucking with my head today.
What is shocking is the reports that he bought 33 weapons over the last year and there was no way of tracing that information. Wake your ideas up, 'Murica.

That is tracked. A former friend of mine was contacted by the FBI for purchasing too many guns in a short period. They talked. Nothing happened. He was then "watched."

From multiple shops?
I'm not sure. I never asked too many questions. Guns aren't my thing.

I was under the impression that the forms were kept at the point of purchase so unless there were multiple purchases from one outlet it couldn't be tracked.

That sounds right to me. Supposedly the FBI/ ATF are prevented from generating a registry. In practice, the intelligence agencies probably have a defacto record.
A 64 year old white guy with a gun interest isn't that uncommon. In fact, its often claimed that the large increase in gun ownership is largely due to a relatively small number of collectors with a lot of guns.
Its probably abnormal to have a large number of AR/ AK rifles at the exclusion of a large number of handguns, but how would that be a risk indicator? Isn't this basically the 2nd shooting of this type outside of the Texas clocktower?
Most mass shooters use a rifle and handguns or just multiple handguns.
Have there been other mass shooters with 7 figure net worths? Ever? This is a weird one.

I'm leaning more towards some local yokel trying his hand at the divisive Trump approach. But you could totally be right, the guy could just be a garden-variety idiot.
