I thought I heard something on the news about Adam attempting to purchase a gun, but being denied. When that happens, is there any kind of communication required to take place between the gun store and some kind of officials? I mean, if a guy attempts to buy a gun and is denied, does the store notify local police of the attempted purchase?

Yes the FBI and ATF have access to the application records of anyone attempting to purchase a firearm in this country. As far as I know there is two week waiting period in CT to purchase a firearm. That is so the background check and application to purchase a firearm can be processed. This douche shouldn't have been able to buy a firearm because he was only 20 BUT he tried to purchase it with his older brothers ID. There's not much reporting on why he was denied on the spot.. maybe the store owner realized he was using a fake ID or the guy seemed "off".
I don't think we should arm teachers but I don't see why more school districts don't have their own uniformed police force or at least one or two armed guards patrolling the grounds. Funding shouldn't be an issue either; If we can pull $10 billion dollars out of our ass to buy fighter jets for Egypt and Libya we should be able to afford security to our own citizens.
