This is a failure of the Fed Gov, by not enforcing restrictive laws already passed. People keep looking to restrict the LawAbiders by calling for 'common sense' laws instead of calling for enforcement of laws. Truckloads of guns & drugs drive over borders btwn PortsOfEntry
And it’s always a white dude
There's your national emergency
AndyRichter So who the hell sold him one. Where did he get it. Did he steal it, buy it, borrow it? Which one. Bc none of those are still any good.
Let me guess, it the NRA's fault right? And not the poor excuse for law enforcement of existing gun laws in our country.
Well, there you have it....
That’s okay! We’re going to build a wall. All the gun deaths that happen in America after are the price we pay for freedom.
RealNationalEmergency GunViolence
Maybe a national emergency should be called for gun violence instead of a wall
But illegal is now legal in the United States. Yep, pass a law and every soul will comply, c’mon man!!
Don’t forget to add that to his charges....maybe he drove a stolen car to work too
NRA
Nat'l Gun Registry ... Every gun has an owner .... Every serial number has their name ... the center of the Wheel that controls all needed info ... one spoke for citizen concerns ... one spoke for doctor concerns .... one spoke for legal info ....Felons don't use the Honor System
it was a gun free zone and the man was a convicted felon. He got mad when he was getting fired took it out on the people and police
Proof again it's a people problem
Never the less, he persisted. Am I using this right?
It is not complicated.The solution itself is simple.Create legislation to ban asault weapons from civilans(AR-15,M16,etc).Create legislation to limit the amount of firearms a civilian could own for personal protection.Great Britain and Australia did this and massacres are rare.
realDonaldTrump and the NRA will argue that he should have the gun
They rebooked the FOID when the 1995 conviction came up. But his more recent prior arrests didn't prevent his getting it. Why?
Remember what ChuckGrassley did in Feb 2017 - chief sponsor of a bill to make it easier for mentally impaired to buy a gun and keep their names off the FBI database. The first bill signed by Trump ParklandShooting StandWParkland HouseDemocrats SenateDems
ONE of our REAL emergencies. Good God when are we going to wake up and change?
Whelp! It had a good run, but it's definitely time to repeal the 2nd Amendment.
This = the real national emergency. GOP is silent and seems to care less.
So, which agency had the responsibility to retrieve his gun after his license was revoked? Perhaps more $ should be spent on gun control, enforcement of gun control laws, gun control reform. Gun violence is a real Emergency.
He must be white haven’t seen his pic or heard him called a thug
You guys are amazing! Basucally you have only few controls over gun and you manage to failed it. SAD
Speechless!
Clearly they didn’t follow up with him. If they had they won’t have confiscated his weapon. Ridiculous. Enough with these senseless errors.
What no way. All the evil guns come from Indiana. Thats what Obama told us.
But the wall !!!
So are you acknowledging that gun laws don't keep guns out of the hands of criminals because criminals don't obey laws?
Now is not the time to talk about this is most likely the same response the GOP always say
Again when will we do something about our broken gun laws. He should not have been able to buy a gun but because is a broken system he was able to.
When an atrocity occurs involving firearms illegally possessed, law enforcement must trace back to whoever enabled the perpetrator and charge them as co- conspirators. They are parties to the crime. They should be prosecuted as if they pulled the trigger.
Employers have been warned time & time again about taking precautions when terminating employees who may potentially be aggressive. Delegate Deeds own son stabbed him when he was confronted with health concerns. Come on people! Common sense should be on the table! CNN
AndyRichter You don’t say 🤦🏻♀️
Almost 5 years ago and he still had the gun. Who dropped the ball?
Repeal the 2A.
Ahh let’s harkens back to the day when the 2nd amendment was written. Everyone deserves the right to a musket and to defend their families! I’m sure they couldn’t have foreseen where American society would be in 2019. We can’t even save ourselves from ourselves.
It’s like new guns laws don’t stop criminals from getting guns......
NRA says so what. Oh no I mean thoughts and prayers
Nothing new. We hear this over and over and nothing happens.
Another example that all the laws in the world will Not prevent shootings, if our own government fails to do their part in enforcing, following-up, etc.
What if, and I'm just spitballing here, what if we HAD A FEW HUNDRED MILLION FEWER GUNS
Big surprise
So much for gun control laws.
But he was legal American citizen. Would building a wall have prevented this?
AndyRichter So, as a Canadian I’m confused. What really is your National Emergency?
Too many damn loopholes that need to be closed and followup that needs to be done. Why don't they say hand in your gun or go back to jail
You don't say.
What good are gun laws if they're not enforced.
We can all agree that legally he should not have had a firearm, and yet, he did. So if it was illegal for him to have one already, how would more gun laws have prevented this?
Mmmm hmmm....
AndyRichter Yet another unstable gun owner with priors that shouldn’t be allowed to own one ... when will it end
guessing he was here illegally as American murderers seem to be given a pass, you know, since they were born and raised here
Precedent for a national emergency for gun control. How’s that sit with you gop? dumbassdonald dumbassdonny BenedictDonald
I wonder if it’s deliberate that MSNBC left out he purchased the firearm in 2014 🤔
So, Illinois issued this felon a firearm permit.....nice. How about we enforce the laws already in place?
Why aren’t warrants automatically issued for anyone who is notified to turn in their guns, but ignores the notice? That would have certainly been enforced on any of the subsequent arrests, right?
It's a mental health issue not a gun issue.
His foid card expired and no one came and got the gun. When i lived there i had to apply and get a foid card because my now ex had inherited family hunting guns. Because if my ex died they would come in and confiscate the guns. Believe me i had no desire to have them.
To lives lost in our great state of Illinois... Your lives are an ultimate sacrifice to our nation at a time domestic terror is being downplayed by the Rs bought and sold by NRA, (Trump's cronies) for a nonsense non securing southern border wall.
When do we find out the cops shot each other?
Duh 🙄
ihatethemedia Sounds like a lack of enforcement as opposed to a lack of legislation...
This is the National Emergency.Gun Control Prayers are not working. You are more likely to be killed by your fellow Americans than an immigrant searching for a better life.
Of course!
Russia!!! Russia!!! liars
america needs more guns. many, many more. then all the problems will be solved and your country will be a paradise. just more guns.
Democrats and gun control groups tried to mandate that police had to remove guns from felons in 2016, but the proposed law was defeated by police and gun rights groups, who compared the efforts to a 'witch hunt'. Now 5 people are dead.
You make it sound as if he bought it from a legitimate dealer when in FACT and we all know you don't like facts, he bought it from a street corner illegally.
I believe it’s actually illegal to kill someone but murders haven’t stopped. More gun control only prevents law abiding citizens from protecting themselves. FoxNews seanhannity TuckerCarlson IngrahamAngle trish_regan LouDobbs MAGA
Yet another example of how criminals ignore gun control laws.
Too FUCKIN late now.
This is where NRA acts like because guns can get to people illegally all forms of gun control are void. While at the same time asking for a wall to stop illegal drug trafficking, because who needs self awareness anyhow
Well, well, well...guess I’ll say it one more time. If we can’t handle enforcing the rules, take away the guns until we can. Ok...you can start screaming at me now.
🤔Not a Mexican border state, right? *still asking for Don
Gun laws in USA f**k yeah! Is it time to change it yet?
Well there you have it! We need more gun laws that don't work
Domestic violence, previous felony assault convictions. Such shock. Much wow.
Mairi06104455 Ya don't say... gunco trol timetoconfiscate
And drunks shouldn't drive, people shouldn't use meth and pot. whats the point?
Oooh oooh... was he Hispanic?!🤔 *askin for 45🤷🏽♀️
So the current laws failed to stop someone from doing evil. If we could just pass a few more laws to stop someone from doing evil, that would surely work!! 😳🤨
sad, but not news. too many have firearms that shouldn’t. background checks.
Mairi06104455 We should just do away with speed limits too.....I mean ....what's the point? People speed regardless of what the law says.
Correction: Black man who opened fire inside a manufacturing company in Aurora, Illinois, legally should not have been in possession of a firearm, according to police.
Another one with a law already existing. See how well bad guys follow the law
And yet, he easily gained access to one. He probably got one for free from his bank just for opening an account. Or maybe he won it in a raffle.
Guess he missed that part of the law that mentions felons can't buy or possess guns!🤔😯😅😂
ihatethemedia A criminal broke the law. This is a National Emergency! SpeakerPelosi
Criminals do not care how many Laws are enacted against gun Rights! Learn the meaning of 'shall not be infringed' !
AndyRichter I’m sure he looked okay to the total law abiding Indiana citizen who sold him the gun in an IHOP parking lot. So really there’s nothing we can do here.
Really So criminals are the ones who commit crimes?! Who knew.
Don’t worry once we elect a Democratic President and declare a National Emergency on guns this will change. ThanksOrangeMan
Time for a Nationwide gun buy back weekend. $300 a gun. There are more guns in this country than people. Let’s raise money and thin it out!
Of Course Not.
Shocking..... another unfortunate act by the NRA ..... every time this happens they pull the trigger.... that’s it
And now for the next installment of Repeal The 2nd, brought to you by and the rest of the liberal media.
'Legally should not have been in possession of a firesrm.' -- NoKidding
Man, if only we had a giant wall. Then none of this would have happened.
A little late for that, huh?
AndyRichter THERE YOU GO. INSANITY.
NBCNews So a crazy black man has a firearm! Who dropped the ball? Had background check, found felony, sent him the gun anyway?
AndyRichter Can’t wait to see how the NRA spins this!
National Emergency!!!!!
Not the guns fault the system failed again
Chicago has an issue because guns are brought in from Indiana.
Where was the good guy with a gun? If only Don Knotts still carried a pistol.
Fingerprinting when he filed for the FOID with a stong background check would have stopped him from getting the gun in 2014. That’s a cheap and easy process.
GUN CONTROL WORKS! They said
Make all the regs u like--but I can go get a gun anytime if I have enough cash.
GASP!!!! You mean a CRIMINAL didn't heed to GUN LAWS? Color me surprised.
They really expected this guy to voluntarily turn in this gun after being sent a letter? Maybe the Easter Bunny should have picked it up for them instead. I guess if they did follow up on it they probably assumed it was alright when the saw the NRA bumper sticker on his car.
AskRahm
More strong evidence that gun laws mean nothing to criminals
Why did it take me almost 24 hours to read the entire story? Oh I saw the headlines to it. But it has become so common place that I thought, I’ll just read it later. Shame on me.
Once again ...easier to restrict extensively most firearms...than to try to stick fingers in the many holes in the dyke...
Another NRA, GOP victory which includes dead people.
Imagine that.
Sounds like Ill fault
You mean in a city with strict gun laws, he still got a gun
50% of all firearms crime is perpetrated by 5 percent of the population. That would be black men between 15-35 years of age, most with prior felony convictions. FBI Statistic
ihatethemedia So, laws didn't stop the guy from getting a gun? I guess we need more laws. /s
Don't tell me our regs don't need to be tuned up.
Shoulda woulda dead.
Was he wearing a MAGA hat or have a Q sticker? FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople WWG1WGA
The only gun control that works is making guns scarce and hard to get. Background checks are not enough. You need to get rid of the guns.
Another example. The laws are in place to control guns . Criminals don't obey them.
A month after criminaljusticereform passes, a fired ex felon w/ an illegally carried gun shoots up a business that gave him a secondchance by hiring him.. Good news, next election, Florida is gonna let em vote too!
Was relinquishing his firearm voluntary? Why didn't anyone know that he still had it?
More money needed for enforcement
Aurora shooting - kid gets fired -GOP kid with no self control/parents foxnews watchers- Kid took matters into own hands like all mentally ill republicans and figured he could solve all his problems with a gun. Sound bout right America?

ABC News @ABCDEVELOPING: Police are responding to an active shooter situation in Aurora, Illinois, the city says. Thank God they got the shooter. I don't understand what's going on with the people on this planet. I definitely believe that you should be allowed to own a gun but there's got to be a better way to control who owns guns. disgruntled employee, I guess. Good thing we are getting a wall to stop this madness. 🤔
