Then, we should look at why our society is growing looney tunes. Just look at him. WTF. What is happening to children? We cannot pretend a shift isn't occurring. A disintegration of humankind.
Putting limits on guns is PRO CONSTITUTION. Stop the right-wing talking points and any limits are "anti-2A". BS. "Well Regulated" is right there in the text of the Constitution. How does that get forgotten over, and over, and over again???

There are an untold number of people in America who suffer from a form of mental illness. The overwhelming majority don’t commit mass murder. Some might get facial tattoos. Many are known to law enforcement from prior contacts. Some spend their waking hours posting crazy sh+t on the internet. (QAnon snyine?) some might even be what you consider to be unattractive. Nobody is monitoring every internet posting. And as far as we know he never explicitly threatened anyone. What’s your point?
He violated no law and none of the red flags in IL law. Law enforcement cannot monitor round the clock the 10s of millions of Americans with mental health issues. Ban the riffles.
Totally disagree. Our country has tipped way over trying to protect the rights of criminals and the mentally ill. They need to be insttutionalized, in group home supervision, and/or under forced medications.
People with mental illness aren’t to be equated with criminals. They have constitutional, civil and human rights. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know anything about congregate residential facilities for people with mental illness? Do you want one operating next door to your home? I didn’t think so. And most states closed their institutional facilities for people with mental illness and/or intellectual disabilities many years ago. Maybe you are the one who needs to be under forced medication.
1/3 of the country is diagnosed with a mental health illness every year. Probably higher since many go undiagnosed. We cant’t lock up or monitor 1/3 of the country.
He isn't mentally ill. He is a loner who was radicalized online and who's GOP father totally ignored the warning signs and weakened gun safety laws allowed him to play out his nihlistic fantasy.
I rest my case.
Local prosecutors will go after the father to make an example out of him. As they should - bankrupt this creep and send him to prison too.
BTW, what happened to the kid who shot up his school and whose parents had bought him the gun as a present, then met with school officials the morning he was making disturbing drawings in class and said they didn't want to take him home? The one whose mom texted him "don't" when she realized he was going to shoot up the school?
There are so many gratuitous gun massacres in this shithole it's impossible to keep track of who butchered whom where and when anymore. So much for those who are looking for fame that way.

We can lock up the more severe cases.
No, we really can’t. No one will take them and it’s virtually impossible to commit someone.

There are millions of things that could have contributed to this creep’s problems but only one cause: HE HAD EASY ACCESS TO MILITARY ASSAULT WEAPONS AND EXTENDED MAGAZINES.

Wasn’t it illegal to have those weapons in Highland Park? How long did he have them and did he when the police came for the violent threats?
Police went to his residence in 2019 twice, once because he said he was going to kill himself and second time because he had said he would kill everyone at home. No charges were pressed, because there was no sworn witness statement. He had no guns then, but had a collection of knives. His gun was legally purchased, per the police. This is why local bans are pointless if weapons can be legally purchased in the town over or the state over.
I’d like to know the age at which he purchased the rifles. If he was under the age of 21 — and over 18 — then my understanding is that he needed parental consent under Illinois law.
