"Officers determined that Harris was lawfully permitted to have the firearm." It's not complicated. It's lack of will.
Too bad the family member didn't know enough about guns to remove the firing pin. Removing the firing pin from an AR-15 doesn't require any tools and can be completed in less than 30 seconds. It's not obvious to somebody handling the gun that it has been removed and he probably wouldn't have noticed it until he tried to fire his first shot in the school and nothing happened.
so they got it right when they called it an "AR style rifle", but they cut the cop off when he says the kid was "struggling". Did they pick on him? hurt his feelings? or was school just too difficult for him? so they took his gun away, and gave it to a relative but he simply went and got it back? So, this could have been a lot worse. the kid didn't seem to have much of an understanding relating to his weapon of choice, hence, the missing handguard.
They transferred the gun back to another adult….find him.he obviously gave it back to the kid…..why no mention he was black like they go out their way saying 'a white male'?
Good job by the police to react the way they did
But guns are free to use, you can't stop shooters if you keep giving guns away for free.
Another mass murder committed with guns that we’re illegal until the GOP allowed the assault weapons bad was allowed to expire, on orders of the NRA. Gun control would have prevented this senseless murder.
If they are STRUGGLING then it's the same as if they are going to 'ACT OUT'.
When there are warning signs, then you should remove the guns.
Republicans gave the gun back to the suspect and then claim victory ONLY 2 dead
WHAT???? You mean gun control doesn’t work????
There is no good reason for anybody to own an AR-15.

Need to put handguns in a locked safe in all classrooms for teachers to use in an emergency like this.
🥱
Wow he not white this time
Why is the FBI getting caught giving mass shooter lots of money in which they buy guns.
The fact is that sometimes this thing is going to happen and you can't do a thing about it.
ESPAÑA LEGALIZA EL GENOCIDIO.
It's quite simple – FBI got him the gun back
St Louie High the 40th US school shooting for 2022. Uvalde the 7th back in May.
44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day.
WTF is wrong with Americans?
Put the guns down.
so less people died because the weapon malfunctioned? maybe put checks in place to prove the gun owner is in a well organized militia like the KKK or MS13?
its an addiction to weapon…
It's amazing how many school shootings we started having when Democrats wanted to start taking away everyone's guns. Methods of stopping SS's are well known. De-centralize the schools. Love your children. Give your child experience in many environments, not just school. And whatever you do, DO NOT ALLOW GLOWIES TO WORK OVER YOUR CHILDREN!
If it’s hard to tell what’s up with a person CHANGE THE 🤬 LAWS!
So your saying these red flag laws don’t work?
Here's to pushing for a bipartisan solution to lower the number of unnecessary shootings. Any amount of progress matters.
Sadly, these school shootings are becoming so common that we are not shocked. Sad state of affairs in America when children die by gunshot doesn’t get our attention.
"…these white school shooters." "Oh…"
they do this party because of the attention we give them. people are making money off of the pain
I KNOW WHERE HE GOT THE GUN….ITS CALLED THE F.B.I. THATS WHERE HE GOT IT
13% 52%
The world is a stage !
Wow a Simon sleeve. Where did homeboy get a Canadian C7 carbine upper at?
It’s heartbreaking knowing the family tried … very sad… Gun control now!!!!!
It doesn't add up. Did someone plant ammo there over the weekend? What kinda bag did he have, duffel bag or backpack? How many shots fired? Too busy trying to find motive, than find answers and facts.
You mean red flag laws didn't work? Der
Ye reap what ye sow…. seemingly, no one is safe in the US (Exceptions…maybe Alaska & Hawaii)
That's just great background check that was done. So, a semi, go figure, what else is new. I am all for guns and protection, but not some war machine being sold to the public, makes no sense.
This was St Louis. Dont tell me none of the kids wasnt strapped
One rifle constitutes an arsenal?🤔 Ummm ok.
Military style assault weapons with 50 cal clip and 200 shots to the round blow the intestine and gizzard out of large man. Heavy as the boxes.
1st I'm hearing of this… hmmm why isn't it all over the news outlets there was a AR hmmm
The shooter could NOT LEGALLY OWN A FIREARM. Read the form 4473.
so the parents knew the kid was crazy, had a rifle and a lot of ammo…great parents
School shooters are pathetic cowards, they would be so much cooler if instead of schools they would storm police departments or the homes of cops.
Well I had arbys today
