Yes; this tragedy shows how Humanity is now focussing on the wrong things every time - like George Floyd becoming BLM - NO! It's police behaviour. Likewise Sarah Everard; no, it's not women in danger; it's cops being out of control. This is what's wrong with society; we should look after people like Davison and give them what they need to be happy and make us happy. At every step we are walking down the wrong roads.

It's madness he wwas giving a gun licences especially in Plymouth - it's not what you call rural. If he had history of criminality like assault or stalking why was he giving the gun back ? Someone needs to be sacked and face a manslaughter charge.

If the police were bored or scared to look at history on the web, again why not ? Maybe he wasn't a celebrity from the 70's.

In America do get a licence you need to have ID, background checks, doctor's records are looked in to. Even at gun shows there is no such thing as a "Gun Show Loophole". They will take your ID and do your background check on the spot. Gun dealers will even refuse a sale if they don't like the look of you.
If you're doing a click and collect online you have to do from a gun shop and again they will do a background check before they hand it to you. Even some police departments in certain states will want to have a face to face interview, a written statement and then they will send you on a gun training course.
I think in California the police will come to your home and ask you where and how you will store the gun, it needs to be a gun locker, sealed with a lock and key or combination.
I have been to numerous gun shows in USA with friends or co-workers. I wasn't allowed to buy or touch because I couldn't buy. However it's fun to go to a show with the right people. Just because you passed background check don't mean you can get a gun right away.
Chicago have one of the strictest gun laws in USA, only reason why there's high murder rate is due to criminals who get them illegally.
Plymouth police have the failed the public and it all could of been prevented. If they did followed complaints against Jake in the past and didn't return his gun back. He must of been on their radar, I am sure he was well known in the city.
There are very few clubs and social outlets for high-functioning autistic people. If they join mainstream clubs they are frequently ridiculed for their odd behaviour and unintentionally offensive comments and end up leaving. Clubs specifically for disabled people are usually aimed at people with more severe disabilities, not odd intellectual types, so they don't fit in there either.
Maybe they should form their social clubs. In my youth these type of people went to places like Game Workshop and did Warhammer or went to comic shops signed up anyone who was interested in role playing table top games. Dungeons and Dragons, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun are the most famous ones. Many comic shops are still doing game nights for these type of games. I do get invites from people but it's not my thing. However I am always appreciative when I get asked to join in.
Some comic shops I have been to, some of the owners are actually on the spectrum themselves. It shows when you ask for help on a certain character, film or a comic they will talk about it for ages before they get something from the shelf me to look at. Or get little agitated if something is not right like a comic in the wrong box. I have never had any problems with the owners.
Both of daughters are obsessed with the Marvel Universe, so I go to comic shops a lot to get them stuff related to Marvel for them. Only because I don't a have clue on Marvel or any franchise for that matter, so these shops are a total Godsend. Also I get a slight discount which always helps.
It's the same with Funko Pops they collect them also but they all look the same to me - plastic figures with odd heads standing in a flimsy cardboard box. I don't know what film they related to or series.
I used to read Peanuts and Andy Capp for the dry humour and sarcasm but that's for another day.
