  1. He was WHITE!!!!!!!!! That's all he needed to be to get the gun. Media knows this but plays the role to the fullest.

  2. Looks like your typical ANTIFA scum. Heck, he was wearing a woman's clothes. Just completes the picture.

  3. @1:15
    On the foid card. Could have indications similar to driver license, with rating of the size of truck one could drive.
    All civilians could only buy and own hand guns.
    While law enforcement and military personnel could with long guns.
    With the grandfather clause. Government not going to come inside our homes to upset any of us. But still plenty going to be mad because no more addition to their collections.
    What you say .. .. Hand guns only to civilians .

  4. DemonRat daddy bought them for the he, she, they, them, it, thing….

  5. What does a background check even mean? Sounds like the only "red flag" that prevents a gun purchase is a past criminal conviction.

  6. China needs to hurry up and liberate this joke country.

  7. When will the US wake up to realize that it is the only country, in a least among western developed democracies, where practically anyone, sane or insane, can legitimately purchase military type guns? I guess as one looking on from the outside world, that the Wild West era of the gunslinger, where possessing a gun was the norm rather than the exception, never really expired in America.

  8. It's daddy who is a Democrat helped it get its weapons

  9. The next investigation might be into the likelihood of a new sub species of human. An extremely violent and cruel subspecies that has no moral anchor. Like the republican party toady for instance.

  10. Suicide threats or attempts should be a red flag and stop a person from owning a gun. Murder-suicide is at an all time high with 11 per week, 9 out of 10 use a gun. Half of all gun deaths in the US are suicides.

  11. Investigate, arrest and convict the parents for their part in the massacre.

  12. Do we expect state regulators to search on line as part of a background check or any call claiming a person has gotten mad and made threats to go into a registry banning them from gun ownership without creditable charges being filed?

  13. Welcome to Brandon’s America! He and his voters need to be held accountable!

  14. Show the bodies on TV! Show Americans what that looks like!
    Dear Americans it doesn't have to be this way! The 2nd amendment Republicans bow down to is fake, it doesn't exist!
    Ban assault weapons of war!
    Access to weapons of war and high capacity magazines are the cause of these slaughtered people ripped apart!
    We don't have to live like this! Vote all Republicans out of office!
    Forced birth for more targets!
    It's insane and we don't have to accept it!

  15. Dear Americans it doesn't have to be this way! The 2nd amendment Republicans bow down to is fake, it doesn't exist!
    Ban assault weapons of war!
    Access to weapons of war and high capacity magazines are the cause of these slaughtered people ripped apart!
    We don't have to live like this! Vote all Republicans out of office!
    Forced birth for more targets!
    It's insane and we don't have to accept it!

  16. NRA + republicans = “We don’t care”

  17. It’s all about the money, root of evil is money, 1 Timothy 6:10, people don’t care who buys what it’s all about the money 💰 and greed. Prayers for the victims family may they find the Lord Jesus Christ so they can heal sooner then later.

  18. 🤨We have weapons of WAR in our communities! What not TANKS? They would be easier to spot. Oh well..as long as the NRA and politicians they OWN are happy🤗🎈 USA!!!

  19. Nonsense everywhere. his parents should be accountable. sorry there is not death penalty in Ill. he is already spending our taxes.

  20. the shooter is just another trumper .

  21. Nonstop coverage of this just does more harm than good.

  22. Ban semi auto rifles and high capacity magazines. Same reason you can’t have grenade launchers, rpg’s or even sawed off shotguns. They are too good at iINDISCRIMINATE killing. Way too easy to obtain.

  23. thank you Republican Supreme Court…
    for making it possible for rapists…
    to now choose the mothers of their children…
    and there will be nothing the women can do about it…

  24. thank you Republican Supreme Court…
    for making it easier for wack jobs…
    to get and openly brandish guns where ever they please…

  25. End game, government decides who's worthy of self defense.

  26. News Flash – Cipollone was Trumps White House lawyer and is NOW cooperating under oath to convict Trump.

    Trumpist making deadly threats and trying to intimidate witnesses!

    Trumpist gunmen will continue because Trump has never been punished for his crimes…..they see no Law and no Order. Arrest Trump and save our kids!

    Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secret Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!

    Trump vandalized the White House, destroyed White House property in fit of rage and stole secret documents.

    FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone

    Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.

    Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!

    Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.

    Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending

    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
    Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
    .

    We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
    .

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!
    .

    Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
