Illinois Gov. Pritzker Calls for More Gun Limits After Highland Park Shootings – Jonathan Turley

"What may have stopped the massacre is the enforcement of the red flag laws given the dark and deranged postings of this individual. However, such laws depend on people reporting such warning signs and police enforcing the laws. "

After the Waukesha mass murder,if you can remember it,cause it got one tenth the coverage, we need to limit who can drive a car.

What fat bottom Pigster and Dementia Joe forget is that muskets were the assault rifles of the times back then. The same rifle as the Red Coats carried, the same rifle as the Army of the Republic carried, the most powerful and deadly rifle of the times. As a side note, both of them are beyond idiots.

With the assassination of Shinzo Abe in Japan a few hours ago here is an article on how many steps is needed in Japan to have a gun. The shooter/assassin made a home made gun maybe some 3D printing parts but not sure.

If you just fire a gun you are charged with three crimes- owning the gun/owning the bullets/and firing it.

The toothpaste is already out of the tube! Why is no news outlet reporting that IL purchased the most number of guns in the country during 2020, 2021 and so far in 2022? LOL, he’s going to restrict gun access now?

Maybe Crimo wouldn’t have felt the need to buy 5 guns – before he went completely insane – had he felt safe and secure in his home and surroundings. But high crime, weeks of rioting, violent crime everywhere in IL, it drove millions of us to purchase guns for our own safety. And a lot of them too.

Let’s make it really hard for a law abiding citizen to own a firearm, and as easy as possible for girls and women to receive an abortion.

Our Governor just makes me feel proud to be an Illinoisan…..

News outlets reported on the dark and violent social media postings almost immediately after he was identified. Why can’t government agents who perform background checks find the same publicly available information? Employers and university admission officers have certainly figured out how to check an applicant’s social media. Is this beyond the capability of government to figure out?

Illinois government officials probably still use Dial-Up or AOL. They use the same people who do contact tracing.
