NRA wouldnt have it any way. They want guns in the hands of everyone, including criminals.

Marion County does it again. Passes blame instead of actually doing work. “Shortcomings = incompetence “

No , the laws existed, It was a leadership failure, all you did was get people killed and gave the hysterical ant 2A people more excuses for more laws.

God said he could have a gun. The rest is on those who believe it was his god given right to possess the gun. Get shot, and you die defending God.

Largely Christian America forgot ' those who live by the sword for by the sword'.

Those who sold the guns must be prosecuted

FBI blew it, yet again 🙄

Indianapolis FedEx shooter bought two weapons used in killings legally last year despite FBI concernsThe 19-year-old who killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis late Thursday night purchased the two assault rifles used in the attack legally months after being investigated by the FBI due to his potential for violence, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. This tells me that mental health in America is a crisis. Guns are only the tools but the humans are the end all. Since Bush 2, mental health has been neglected by inadequate funding for research development and implementation of a strategy. GOP admin created this crisis also. 19 years old. Not old enough to drink but old enough to buy a gun? Gun violence can be mitigated by fixing poverty and mental health in America. True root causes of violence. Anything less is just a bandaid.

Prosecutor: FedEx shooter didn't have 'red flag' hearingThe man who fatally shot eight people at a FedEx facility never appeared before a judge for a hearing under Indiana’s “red flag” law, even after his mother warned that her son might commit “suicide by cop,” a prosecutor says. We have lazy incompetent negligent bureaucratic hacks that don’t do a thing except collect a paycheck and count the days till they get their pension. Lot of good the f-g 'red flag law' did.Didn't try to execute law, and the shooter still went out and bought 2 more guns. Sickening! The families of the victims should sue the state. Unbelievable incompetence from that police department. Even the family of the shooter should sue
