#1 Dude buys a machete and tries to buy a gun at one Dicks, they refer him to another Dicks, something goes wrong with the transaction, he starts chopping people, and the dude escapes. There seems to be at least two insane people involved in this episode. A couple others seem more likely to just be incompetent possibly moronic. The second insane person appears to be the Suffolk County Police Chief who proposes red flag laws as the solution to this machete incident. The person who wrote the article is incompetent in several respects in that it was not clear whether the perp brought his earlier purchased machete into the second store of whether he rearmed himself upon arrival. Also incompetent is whoever is responsible for security policy at Dicks where they sell weapons that customers can use to rob the store and escape unopposed.
