This act of violence against innocent people is outrageous!!!

These Americans are crazy

This goes to show you. You have to be careful who you piss off. There is always a price. We forget that sometimes.

WOW... So if he wasn't supposed to have a gun because failed the investigation. LEO didn't follow up on it. That means the victim's family members can sue the City or State?

CNN's narrative is just getting killed this year. You may actually have to start being a news channel

She is the best. NewsAnchor

Is Frederica going to call him 'brave and courageous' too

Why isn’t race mentioned? If he was white, it would have been!

the place the guy lived had gun laws and guest what they did not work and if anything this shows the real motivator for violence poverty is the poor smuk lost his job and probably had kids an went postal.

Did the wall work?

TALK ABOUT THE MURDERER NOT THE GUN .hE IS A CONVICT BLACK DEMOCRAT .

sandyhook Cc: realDonaldTrump this is a national emergency!!!!! 👀

The left should leave this one alone, because it proves criminals don’t follow the law. The shooter by law was not supposed to have a gun, and proves the point that criminals don’t follow laws. What new “common sense” laws would have prevented this? I want to defend myself.

shay78947 A convicted felon and was able to purchase a gun legally and get a permit to carry great system we have for background checks... Then the cops send a letter um can ee have your gun back please ya ok sure!

Hope you're pointing out that the gunman had the gun illegally. Once again the Govt system has failed.

Another liberal throws a tantrum

If the Law would have taken care of they business a long time ago he would not have had a gun! Plus it had to be something to cause that man to go extremely crazy like that! After he lost his job! Have mercy on they soul! The truth will come soon!🙏😇🙏

Tragic and heartbreaking.

Let's keep quiet about the gunman not being white! We all know white men are the only mass shooters or at least the only ones the media identifies!

Amend the constitution, might not happen soon but I guarantee one day it will happen.

Everybody hush the idiot president's about to putt... he's say's it's a holiday and we have a national emergency forchrist sakes.🤐

Another white supremacist with a gun in Chicago.

Students all around the would have had enough, we will have reform.

Man killed 5 in Illinois after gun background check missed felony conviction, police sayPolice 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. 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... law suit is coming. The government just couldn’t get things done properly.

Police: Gunman in shooting rampage had 6 prior arrests in Aurora, Illinois, including domestic battery chargesFive male employees of Henry Pratt Co. were found dead and the gunman was killed in a shootout with police after a 90-minute search of the sprawling warehouse. And did they confiscate all of his guns? I'm betting that they did not. So much for strict 🔫 control. Key part of the article. The system is broken.

The Latest: Police: Aurora attacker shouldn't have owned gunAURORA, Ill. (AP) — The Latest on the mass shooting at a warehouse in Aurora, Illinois (all times local): Noon Police say the fired worker who killed five people at a warehouse in Aurora, Illinois, was able to buy the gun he used because an initial background check didn't catch that he had a prior felony conviction in Mississippi. Aurora police Chief Kristin Ziman said Saturday that Gary Martin was issued a firearm owner's identification card in January of 2014 after he passed the initial background check. She says he bought the Smith and Wesson .40-caliber handgun on March 11, 2014, and that his 1995 felony conviction for aggravated assault in Mississippi wasn't flagged until he applied for a concealed carry permit five days later. That application process includes vetting using a more rigorous digital fingerprinting system. Authorities say Martin fatally shot five Henry Pratt Co. workers and wounded a sixth and five police officers on Friday before officers killed him. But tell me more about how it's all those criminals with illegal guns and legal gun owners don't commit any crimes. I'll wait here. Should have built a wall around his house So, the gun laws didn’t work?

Illinois Gunman Opened Fire When He Learned He'd Lose His Job, Police SayShooter Gary Montez Martin, 45, wasn't legally allowed to own a gun, police say. But he never complied with a demand to relinquish his firearms. Waiting for the “This is what white men do when the minimum wage rises” backlash Maybe we should get more guns into the hands of people that are going to be fired. That way instead of getting fired and filing for an unemployment claim they'll just kill their boss. I bet the NRA would support that.
