The investigation detailed several unnerving behaviors from Cruz, including that he had cut his arms on Snapchat, had a Nazi symbol and a racial epithet on his backpack and intended to purchase a gun for unknown reasons, according to a Florida Department of Children and Families report...
Cruz’s mother also is quoted as saying that he did not have a gun at the time of the investigation, though he had an air gun that was taken away when he broke household rules…
The DCF report said that the agency began looking into Cruz in September 2016, four days after he turned 18.

He was a very good shot,” Aaron Diener, who was part of Cruz’s shooting team in 2016, told the AP. “He had an AR-15 he talked about, and pistols he had shot. ... He would tell us, ‘Oh, it was so fun to shoot this rifle’ or ‘It was so fun to shoot that.’ It seemed almost therapeutic to him, the way he spoke about it…
The NRA Foundation says on its website that it has distributed $335 million in grants since 1990. According to the Associated Press, the majority of the of the grants to schools — $2.2 million in 2016 — were non-cash grants, like the one Cruz’s team received.

So, the school and the state of Florida knew he was a NeoNazi, they were disturbed by his desire to buy a gun. They knew he was self-harming. They labeled him a “Vulnerable Adult Due To Mental Illness.” And then the school gleefully trained him in their NRA funded rifle club and celebrated his apparent talent for shooting.
He didn’t have a gun during the investigation, so that happened before he bragged about owning a gun to his school rifle teammates.
And so all this begs the question: How many other known “vulnerable and mentally ill” young NeoNazis are the NRA paying our schools to train to become mass murderers?
And with all the school shootings in America, why are schools even permitted to have competitive rifle teams in the first place?
This is insanity. Our schools are training the killers of our own children. They’re training known NeoNazis to kill... at the very schools where these people end up carrying out their NRA funded killing sprees.
The kids at MSDH and schools nationwide deserve better than school administrators who took the NRA’s money and then trained aspiring mass murderers on campus. Every single employee of MSDH that had a hand in creating that rifle club and taking the NRA’s donation should be fired.
