Florida, baby.
2 Florida middle schoolers arrested for allegedly plotting mass school shooting
[…]
Searches of their homes allegedly found “disturbing evidence, including a gun and several knives,” he said.

The two students, who were both known to authorities as deputies had visited their homes nearly 80 times combined, will be charged with conspiracy to commit a mass shooting, according to the sheriff.
So how many times do authorities need to be called out before they think they should maybe consider taking action? 30-something was insufficient for the cops to Baker Act the Parkland chumbucket. “Nearly 80 times combined” wasn’t quite enough to Baker Act these two.
No Baker Act. No “red flag” order. Well…
Both teenagers met the criteria for an evaluation at a mental health facility, and investigators will be looking into a risk protection order, which restricts firearm and ammunition access for those who pose a danger to themselves or others, Marceno said.
Ah. So 40 time’s the charm? Maybe “red flags” will work this time.
