GUNs are GREAT right ?

No one is safe while maniacs like this have easy access to guns. Only eight years old, THAT is a baby. GunReformNow ProLife

ProfJNMoyo temptmho

Really where does the body camera footage suggest or did they arrive hours after the murder took place

The “mental health” brigade must be busy preparing their Thoughts and Prayers statement

Crazy people do crazy things.

Imagine if this guy hadn't had a gun.

Gonna need to put doors on sidewalks now somehow too?

If only the car door was locked- this horrible tragedy wouldn’t have happened…{sarcasm}

Guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns, guns...

We don’t have the ability legislate the capacity for people to commit indiscriminate, heinous crimes. We do have the capacity to make it more difficult for them to possess a firearm.

Vacationing in South Carolina was the first mistake.

10 black people who live Chicago shot by men driving by on vacation, what a coincidence.

I can’t take it!!!!! These stupid sh—s! Shooting at random cars? THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Wonder what political party he brings to.

Only in America or a war zone.

Guess the boy was killed by a well regulated militia.

And we need more guns given out to the neighbors so they can shoot at passerby’s as well while he in jail to keep things going.

America - you’re broken and there doesn’t seem to be any redeeming qualities in a lot of your habits

These attacks seem very orchestrated. All very strange... Condolences to the family and friends of all victims, be hugged. Strength ❤️🙏

Disgusting.

Jfc

What the fuck? Why did this person have a fucking gun?

If only his teacher was armed and his school had armed guards at every door, this could have been prevented..... NOT!!!!! Duh...It IS the guns.

💭+🙏🏼 😡😢

There is no punishment sufficiently intense for this crime.

This dude had nothing better to do with his time than shoot at cars passing by?! Get a different hobby ffs!

GOP and NRA dont care how many kids are killed. i still think the solution is for us to arm every black man with an open carry in these NRA backed states. that will bring change.

H/t Tim Stelloh timstelloh.

It’s my fucking hobby alright! My for fathers said in the Declaration of Independence that I have the right to bear arms and shoot cars! DontTredOnMe

Wait, was there an unlocked door? Was the child’s father absent? Video games involved? A militia? According to the GOP it’s gotta be anything else besides…a gun in the hands of a man that thought it funny to shoot at random cars…

erinalberty Stupid and crazy people plus guns = dead people. Simple math.

Must’ve mistaken the car for advancing red coats or natives. Thank god for the militia.

'Good guys with guns' mostly translates to 'idiots with guns'.

A 10 year old boy gets his mother gun and shoot and kill a woman he didn't know with it

Reason 987 to never visit a red state.

So, in america you can litteraly play duck shooting in real life

Doors and weed are the problem. Ask republicans

What a shithole of a country... Trains, schools, hospitals, cars, malls, homes.... No where is safe!!! Everywhere is a war zone. A country held hostage by hungry politicians who think with their stomachs and pockets rather than their brains... Superpower my foot....

This man was probably one of the good guys until this happened. Then one day he crossed over to the other side. But remember he had no trouble getting a gun because he was one of the good guys.

Only in America

This is ridiculous… this guy was randomly shooting at passing cars. He should get what he deserves… harshest possible punishment.

Too many doors on that vehicle. The kid was looking at porn. The driver wasn't armed and couldn't shoot back. The security guard watching the family was taking a break. But not the gun.

Clearly the door of the car wasn't strong enough

It never stops...

solomonmissouri davidhogg111 you need to see this.

Another well regulated militiaman strikes. 2a contorted by the nra & a corrupted scotus . If this man was required to have a license , go through a background check, to train to carry insurance would he have this weapon & use it in such undisciplined & reckless manner ?

but access to guns is not the problem. right.

This country is so embarrassing

Ban the bullets.

Shooting at random vehicles as they pass by? 🤔 There is seriously something wrong with people now days 🤦 now another 8 year old is gone...

Here come the Republicans to say 'there's nothing than can be done to stop it', yet, we're the only country this trash happens in so apparently everyone else has stopped it and the GOP just doesn't have any spine.
