Allies AND enemies have been watching this incompetent US President.

The Pensacola shooter wasn't a US citizen. Here's how he got a gunThe Pensacola shooter was able to buy a gun, despite his status as a foreign national. Any non-immigrant in the United States on a non-immigrant visa can get a firearm under certain conditions, according to federal law. Lol.. even a baby can buy a gun. Seems outrageous. The only immigrant rights the GOP will defend is the right to buy a gun - no drivers license or healthcare but guns? Sure....
