The fingerprints on his keyboard and they way the letters are worn will show which keys he used most
CSI: NCIS New Miami York has determined that he used R S T L N E keys more than others, this has determined that he was likely an English speaker and had a real hard on for Vanna White. This attack may have been a plea for help after his failed attempt to get on Wheel of Fortune.

I really hope that we do something more sensible this time.
What do you consider sensible? Banning guns outright? Banning different features of guns? Requiring more burdensome checks on law-abiding gun owners? Improving mental health care? Creating an avenue to report pre-crime?
I hear a lot of people saying that we gotta do something, but that completely fails to skip over our disagreements on what needs to be done if anything.

It is the only thing that protects them from the wrath of US army... ever wondered why the US only attack weak countries?
You mean like Iraq who had one of the largest armies in the world?
1950's North Korea? They totally didn't have any Chinese support there. Little pissant army.
1940's Japan and Germany? I mean that was really just a training exercise.

You're still adding a cost for someone to do something that is generally considered to be a good action. You're still letting the annoyance of a robocall put a burden on other positive or not-harmful activities.
Its like saying "This restaurant served undercooked roadkill so now we have to make the free soup kitchen across the street buy a license".

This is how we lose our freedoms. An annoyance leads to bans and requirements that impact much more important matters.
rtfa-troll points out below that anonymous calls are vital for tipsters and whistleblowers. Are you willing to sacrifice that very important check for the sake of not getting a robocall?
More importantly, there are bans and requirements in place *now* that should prevent these robocalls from happening. Where did you get the idea that criminals follow the law?
