    Probably thought he’d arrived at some sort of immunity zone:

    Fuck I hate this country sometimes.

    If we didn't do anything after Sandy Hook, we'll never do anything. And that's depressing as shit.

    Not sure one shot through the front window constitutes ‘shot up’, but yeah, people with histories of mental illness should not have access to guns.

    according to this he was licensed to carry as an armed security guard despite seeing mental health specialists since he was 16.

    tennessee did of course just have another shooting where a mental health challenged individual murdered a bunch of children, no? hard to keep them all straight at this point.

    is this here yet? It's clear that since 2009 SCOTUS has ZERO interest in the original intent of the founding fathers.

    Some sort of mass shooting app that gets updated in real time would be very helpful.

    No mystery at all

    You cannot buy a firearm if you have been adjudicated “mentally defective”. Otherwise there is no mental health review.

    The only real deterrent is with Red Flag laws. And Oklahoma recently passed a law prohibiting cities & local governments in the state from implementing Red Flag laws.

    Was this guy a felon? Probably bought the gun in a private sale. Wanna guess whether background checks are required for private sales in OK?

    RIGHT-WING SUPREME COURT CONTINUES ITS “GREAT FRAUD” ABOUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT
    As former Chief Justice Warren Burger said: “The Framers clearly intended to secure the right to bear arms essentially for military purposes.

    If only there was something we could do about the intentionally illiterate SCOTUS schiesters

    More guns = safer! Or maybe, just maybe - more guns lead to unnecessary escalation & violence in otherwise benign situations.

    I’ve said it before and still believe that All it would take is a large percentage of POCs to open carry and we would have new gun control legislation within a year

    Naw man we're going full right for everyone to conceal carry with no permit or nothing.. also no special hoops required to purchase a handgun. Just walk in and buy a Block just line a shut gun.. Load it up and hide it under your shirt on the way out of the gun shop.. MURIKA!! How's that for fucking nuts?
