Police say the fired worker who killed five people in Aurora, Ill., was able to buy a gun because a background check didn't detect a prior felony conviction.

Yeah, let's pass more gun laws, instead of enforcing the ones we have already which keep not working because people don't know how to enforce them.....

Thanks SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi for your resistance to background check legislation. This blood is on your hands!

Had he walked into any area with open carry he would have been taken out.

And it was a gun free zone.

Again...its not a need for more laws. Its a need to enforce and properly execute the laws in place.

Thoughts and prayers! 🤷‍♀️ Sorry America... 😪

You mean the Gummint failed? No way, man. No way. Gummint never fails.

If only we had a wall.

Illinois has strict gun laws which were just tightened as of Jan. 1. Didn't work. Again. It's about what's in the human heart, not in the code books.

Exactly why the 2nd is in place, the government always fails to protect the citizens.

We need better funding and better reporting on the background check systems that we already have in place.

Fix the current system before you ask for more responsibilities you gun-control dummies.

Isn’t Aurora in one of those anti-gun states? Wasn’t he already prohibited by law from owning a gun? How could this happen with all those laws in place? I’m confused.

You should add black man in your title because you never forget white man

So existing laws already on the books didn’t work? And liberals want to put more programs in the hands of government 🙄

And the reason is (I suspect) is that some jurisdictions in TX and elsewhere, balk at uploading their data into the Federfal NICS system. So if no arrest data goes in, nothing comes out.

That's because gun sales are more important than lives in this country.

We should not let companies fire people unless they have another job lined up. greennewdeal

Which is why we need firearm vending machines

Why when the felony was detected 5 days after he bought the gun when he applied for a concealed permit the gun was not taken away from him?

Guns don’t kill people, lax gun laws do.

Lol.

Loopholes on loopholes on loopholes 🔁

BLACK MAN. Not a white guy. Not a Trump supporters. Not a magahat in sight.

law suit is coming. The government just couldn’t get things done properly.

But the background check for a ccw did... blame the government and nra.

So perhaps, and I'm just throwing this out there, we might need to do better enforcing existing gun laws and background checks before we start passing new laws that will fail...
