Senate majority leader stresses need to "tackle the scourge of gun violence" after Buffalo mass shootingSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in Washington on Wednesday, May 11.
Speaking virtually to the congregation at the True Bethel Baptist Church in Erie County on Sunday, Schumer described the deaths as part of an “ugly pattern” that “dates back to the earliest days of this nation”. “This isn’t about being in the wrong place, at the wrong time — I heard some commentators say that, that really got me very angry,” Sen. Schumer continued. “The only wrong time to be at a supermarket in the minds of these evil people is when it’s closed.”
“We must tackle the scourge of gun violence and finally ban the weapons of war from our streets,” he said. “We must address the disturbing reality that the internet and social media allow purveyors of evil to spread their wicked words to poison the minds of others.”
Someobe drop the ball.
Guns Are So Often Missing The Focus!!
Somebody put General Patton's number in my phone and I stopped by Secret Service in downtown Cincinnati and they have done nothing about it. 937-977-4298--- they put it in 859-576-3065..Daniel Lee Berger--I'll be downtown today at Fountain Square.
In my oppinion ppl always wanna blame the guns, parents,the lack of therapy, current laws…evil people will always be evil…more laws will not prevent anything
And then sleazy Republicans, notably Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik, incited the white supremacist teenager to violence by peddling nonstop replacement theory politics.
US citizens often say America is the best country in the world but the truth is you never will be until you sort out your incredibly out of date crazy gun laws. There is no other rich country that sees even close to your level of gun deaths because they all have better laws.
Democrats defunding police make America worse
People know how to stop these kinds of acts at some point Faith will start to take a back seat in America and I know Russia and China are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting on their opportunity attack then they'll see what real killer's look like
Is CNN going to build a monument in Buffalo for them?
Who cares
Always the victim. From reading what he planned out, sounds he was kinda educated. Any one can play the part. I've got a sister that's got that shit covered. She owns the highest level of any mental status. She's always the victim
How do we feel about the Azov badge he was wearing? The one ukrainian neo Nazis are wearing in the Azov battalion.
No need for mental health it’s fair clear ! 🤗
..and it didnt show up on a background check
In my oppinion ppl always wanna blame the guns, parents,the lack of therapy, current laws…evil people will always be evil…more laws will not prevent anything
Damn that mental health excuse. He was sane and competent. He killed old people that were grocery shopping! 😡😡
Well I wonder what the person that made the evaluation is saying now. OOPs I made a mistake isn't quite good enough is it! There should be mandatory surveillance for 10 years for people like this. Alert gun dealers should paramount.
Who was the Dr that evaluated him for his mental health? 😳
He’s a red flag, should have monitored him since last year
Let the narrative's begin!!! No surprise here!! CNN
It didn't prevent him accessing an arsenal.
PopppoppooppppppppoppppllppkopppppppppoppppppppppplkppppppppppkppppplkpkppppklpkppppppoopppppplppppplpkppppppplppppppppppplpplpppplpllplpppplmmlpA
The l
How did he get access to lethal deadly weapons then? American constitution needs amending.
Until they change the gun laws nothing will change. Doing the same thing over and expecting a different result is insanity. But the NRA are so entrenched in politics it will never change.
There was a Times article where it was stated that the gun store owner ,,checked the buyers name and did not find anything suspicious” … So if there really wasn’t anything then where could have been this info about mental health evaluation find, or just the owner was blind af?
White supremacy cult should be treated as a terrorist organization like any other terrorist group…… they are probably more dangerous cause they get a lot of passes.
Parents are responsible for not reporting him
Great
BIDEN has not fixed any problems of America just made everything WORST from race, mass shootings, economy, inflation, oil prices, and war. The world is a Disaster.
And if anyone puts this on his teachers or school administrators, just know we can only BEGIN the evaluation process. It’s out of our hands when the system fails or is overwhelmed.
Predictable & PEDESTRIAN CNN reporting about SHAMELESS POLICE PIVOTING, ahead of court proceedings huh? Why is the 1st thing we need 2 know about this TERRORIST, his ALLEGED REFERRAL FOR MENTAL EVALUATION -probably not yet diagnosed; being used 2 manipulate the public/the courts
America needs to stop being tolerant toward murderer's. Pass zero tolerance laws which would make murderer's face a swift immediate 'execution' if found guilty. Tolerance is not working, compassion is not working, psychiatric evaluations is not working, execution is a deterrent.
Can we not sell 18 yr olds guns and buddy armor b/c giving an 18 yr old access to those items is absolutely insane…
Someone tell me about his parents
Everyday we get these news from America. When is the time to effectively take back all fire weapons from civilians? Change the constitution amendment once and for all. Less guns is more freedom.
Yes, guns don't kill; people kill. But the f*Ed up people use those military grade assault rifles to kill a bunch of us. Why make it easy for them.
A shooting just happened at a church in California, a church that I think that denomination is the same as Andrew Jackson , a Brutal slave owner and mass murderer of Native Americans in Florida belonged to . Wonder if it was retaliation for Buffalo . 🤔
Of course, but if it was Hispanic or Afroamerican will be sentenced to life in prision or death
The problem is Parents and friends and family ignoring the Red Flags we truly have a problem in the country with mass shooters and it's seems to be White Males? What are y'all so angry about?🤔 And to drive over an hour away all of it is premeditated What's is wrong boys?
So how does an 18 yo purchase massive armaments? Where were his parents? Did they help in theses purchases? If so, they should be held culpable & charged accordingly
Blacks kill more blacks than whites kill blacks - check your stats in Democrats cities folks like Baltimore, Chicago, NYC, LA, Milwaukee
And he was still able to purchase firearms.
cnn currently
I truly don’t care about that part. 13 people have died because of him.
AND!!
There we go people. He isn't racist, he just has mental health issues 🤦♂️
Why was he allowed to have a gun.
Hmmmmm, guess y'all forgot about the NYC subway shooters social media posts? Funny how quickly you quit speaking on that once his race was revealed
And then POOF nothing happened!!
Who cares
California mass shooting info please
He was sent but did he get any sessions with a professional.
So we can credibly quash any insinuation that he was a 'deranged lone wolf' who slipped through the cracks. Since when should free speech be a defense against hate speech? Why does one person's right to say whatever they please trump many people's right to life & safety?
How do u get a mental evaluation?
Someone did not evaluate this shooter properly. If they had, this shooter would have been either watched very closely or institutionalized. Anyone with that much hate really needs help.
The right to bear arms is in the American constitution, no debate on that. The mass shootings should be an awakening on some reforms to the gun laws, one that protects people while securing lives. Innocent people dying is just not right. Conversations are needed on this.
Too many of these freaks out there. And the internet has made them even crazier than they would be otherwise.
Joe Biden divide this country not unite
Nothing I mean not many people cares about it
Let's say it all together now. RED. FLAG. LAWS. EndGunViolence
Here we go!
We need murder control NOW! If only they made murder illegal people would not be able to break the law and commit murder! 🙄 People always wanna blame the guns,the parents,the lack of therapy,current laws…evil people will always be evil…more laws will not prevent anything.
The evaluation would’ve have come quicker if he was a minority.
jaketapper And police aren't much good, and doctor worse
Was he racist for making threats against his school?
jaketapper No. It’s not effing mental health. It’s racism.
Every mass shooter has mental issues and on Meds.. 🤔
jaketapper White supremacy is not a mental illness. Do not conflate the two! This demonic creature was brought up to hate.
And sadly some “mental health” person sent him on his way because their liberal training said don’t worry about it
jaketapper And that failed miserably
Should have been placed on the FBI watch list.
This guy could be used as a great argument for abortion. Too bad his mother didn’t make that choice!
jaketapper There are threats made at all of our schools all the time. When parents get vague email we try to address it, we get the same response-check the code of conduct. Every child has left a trail on SM, but the person who threatens has more rights than our kids who don’t. GunViolence
Don't start with the mental illness 🐂 💩
The FBI is playing a game. Their inability to follow up on these flags. Is 'NOT' related too the need of more FTE.
jaketapper Then they gave him a cookie and a pat on the head...
jaketapper When they say ‘defund the police’, it really means stop buying military grade equipment, and fund mental health professionals to partner with the police to fix this shit. Is that too woke for you?
jaketapper Same with every other mass shooting
