I look at this study, and I think if they used their current criteria, other than being flagged on NICS checks, they could put a whole bunch of us here into the "future mass shooter" category when they start going Minority Report.
Also, why is a supposedly hard sciences publication running this story?

Some buying patterns suggest pre-attack planning and a desire to have a firearm purchase record that was harder to trace. Analyses of individuals from California who perpetrated a mass or active shooting between 1985 and 2018 found that firearms acquired closer to the date of the attack were more likely to be:
long guns
used during the attack
purchased out-of-state
So basically anyone who buys a gun is potentially planning a mass shooting. Got it
were more likely to have a history of purchase denials
Hmmm

Didn't someone determine several years ago that all biological males are [potential] rapists, based purely on the fact that they have a [bleep]?

Well they are trying to ban men too.

What about "women" who have a [bleep]?

MMA fighter-turned-security guard 'averted another Pulse mass shooting' by disarming man in devil mask as he tried to storm strip club, say Tampa cops

Saw link when looking at the article from the Amazon link. Maybe add this one to the statistical list.
Sounds like they don't know why he was heading into the club holding a pistol, but I am sure it wasn't just to get a beer. Glad the bouncer stopped him.

Thinking about that event, I wonder if the statistics these people are pulling together will include events like this one where the person was stopped without anyone getting injured.

acquired in an unauthorized manner, even among some mass and active shooters who were not prohibited from buying guns at the time of purchase
This is because a California compliant AR-15 is a neutered shell of what an actual AR-15 should be like. No pistol grip, effectively no detachable magazine, and an artificial magazine limit make it a no-brainer for any Californian, potential mass-shooter or not, to cross into Nevada or Arizona to purchase a proper AR-15. Being a long gun, interstate purchases are legal from an FFL. I honestly wonder how many CA-compliant AR-15's actually sell. They suck something awful. I've got to wonder how many "felon" CA gun owners there are that have bought AR's and brought them back home to CA (i.e. "acquired in an unauthorized manner"). I think "hundreds of thousands" is not an unreasonable assumption.
I question if ANY California compliant AR-15 has ever been used in a homicide anywhere. Even a justifiable one.

I kinda hope they run my credit card purchases through their algorithm. Among other things I bought, and shot, enough 5.56 in the last 18 months that I wore out the bolt and cam pin on my 10.5 AR. The pin is out of round.
Not to mention the body armor purchases.

Just how much ammo did you shoot?
My 11.5" SBR has several thousands of rounds through it with no serious wear.

It took about 11k, most of which was suppressed so it was pretty over gassed.
I don't track round counts obsessively any more but according to my credit card bills I've gone through 15 cases of 5.56 since Sep of 2020 when I started at the new range, but the first year was pretty slow. I ramped up significantly in 21. This rifle has been my main squeeze for most of that.

Of course not. You think the thousands of "Armed Citizen" reports get wide discussion?
If a crime is prevented.... oh. something, something... man bites dog...

Makes sense. Close to 10k rounds with a can on really beats up the short barrel rifles.
