I want to shoot a whole 50 cal mag into his face
I can kill you with a hammer, rope, knife, stick, bat, car, truck, fire, water, my hands, a gun, doesn't matter if I want to kill someone I will do it gun control is just another way to disarm everyone to make my gun I'll take your life
Give teachers guns
Were there’s more guns the safer it is
That stack of guns in the picture is worth 6 grand or more. Where did a kid get money for that? And then buy?
Where did he buy it from? For how much? I didnt have a few grand to throw around in high school, did u?
The AR-15 is being used as a poster gun for crime. The media attacks the AR as though it were the gun responsible for the most crime. Truth is rifles (bolt action, lever action, pump, semi auto and shotguns) account for less than 300 or less than 4% of all gun related homicides. There are fewer people killed with AR's than by unarmed people. Your chances of being killed with any rifle or shotgun is less than 1 in a million. Before falling for the media blitz, check out the stats yourself.
Perfectly legal when FBI was warned, local police warned and they had over 35 warnings or encounters with him. This was blatant failure and not NOT the NRA’s fault whatsoever.
Is this lame excuse for a sheriff out of a job yet?
No he actually did not buy it legally because if he did he would have been 18 years old
Some marines are 17
Less than 500$????? Yeah no
Bought his AR-15 legal? Oh, you mean the one he wouldn't have been allowed to buy had either the Browers or Palm Beach county sheriffs departments AND the FBI actually done their jobs and locked the kid up and charged him with violent crimes on the MULTIPLE accounts that they received calls from both his adopted family and other acquaintances saying things like he was putting guns to people's head, was planning to kill them, and had assaulted them? Like maybe the one instance when his familiy said that he had literally made the statement that he was coming back home and planned to kill them when the cops just picked him up and then turned him back out without doing anything? You mean that AR? Yeah, why don't you tell us all of the rest of the facts before posting this garbage that's clearly trying to push an anti-firearms agenda to people that don't know any better. The kid shouldn't have been allowed to own a sharp stick and wouldn't have had the laws we ALREADY have been enforced and law enforcement do their freaking jobs. Maybe instead of harassing legal and legit and law-abiding gun owners the FBI, ATF, and local police might actually try doing their real jobs for once and maybe we really could avoid some tragedies.
Huh, the cop didn't say this would never have happened if his department would have done their damn jobs in the first place.
AZ has similar legal private sales no registration god bless Arizona
If someone had him sent in for mental evaluation, since people knew he was disturbed, he'd have been technically committed to a mental health facility and wouldn't have passed ATF form 4473.
Why sell weapons to a known menatlly unstable person?
I’m all for the second amendment, but the fact that a 19 year old can just walk into a gun store and buy an AR-15 as long as he has no criminal background is absolutely disgusting.
Ушастая дебила
FLORIDA HAS A 5 DAY WAITING PERIOD! THIS IS A LIE!
Nothing to do with gun laws. His skin waa thin. He has damned his soul. He should of moved around n ignored the bullshit n relocated n re create himself. Instead he FAILED THE TEST
Perfectly legally? What kind of english is that?
Young Henry hill from Goodfellas
More fake HOAX NEWS… crisis actors being interviewed…face it America….you're NOT getting our AR15's!
There’s this thing that has been around since the 1800’s called a metal detector. Have guards at the entrances. They should be at all schools anyway. There presence alone would be enough to make someone think twice. More jobs and more security all in one.
Perfectly legally? Not proper english but okay
Saying guns kill people is like saying your pen made a typo. Its not guns it's the people who wield them

Yes he bought it legally. It is a rifle, not a machine gun or automatic weapon. A rifle that requires a single trigger pull for each single bullet fired. Should an 18 year old be able to buy a rifle? Should a 16 year old be able to drive? Should an 18 year old be able to sign up for the military? Should a 18 year old be allowed to sign up for an oppressive student loan? These are questions. Laws provide an answer for better or worse.
The guy in Charlottesville drove his car into a crowd to kill. Should he have been able to legally buy a car? Most shooters area over 21. Many school shooters are over 21. If the law moves the number up to 21, that problem still exists.
If you say, then no sales at all, remember that there are hundreds of millions of handguns and rifles currently in private ownership, what of those. They will sell on the black market, or be stolen for a century. Round them all up? Who makes that call. Even if you don't own a gun, do you want policemen searching your home without any probable cause just in case you are hiding a gun. That's what it would take and then where do we live? What type of government have we forced or allowed our government to become?
The Swiss all have rifles. It is a requirement for all adults. They don't have mass shootings. In the Olympics we are watching athletes cross country ski and then fire AR15 style rifles at targets, and we are cheering them. This seems to be a big disconnect.
You guys need to change the thumbnail
We don’t need assault rifles……..yeah we also don’t neeeeeed alcohol. It has no purpose, and has killed far more than any rogue shooter will. This is America. We don’t use the word ‘need’ here. Like it or not firearms will be around forever. Prohibition didn’t work, neither will rifle bans.
Where the hell do you think he got the money to buy such a weapon?
CIA???
Do some research people!
What does his dr have to say? Was he taking his meds? Who let a minor buy a gun?
This is so hard for me because now I can not even go to school without getting scared someone needs to do something now
I lived in downtown Chicago for seven years. Chicago is in Cook County, the county with the strictest gun laws in the nation. I lived in a neighborhood that was about half a mile north of Cicero Avenue, which is the road that is considered to be the border between the high crime and lower crime areas. When I lived there, I was not able to possess a firearm, even in my own home. (I believe you can own a shotgun if you possess an F.O.I.D. card.) I lived on a street called North Tripp Avenue, and I knew many of my neighbors. Sadly, in 2008, a criminal armed with a rifle, broke into my neighbor's house, shot the husband as he approached the front door, and shot the wife in the arm. She was in critical condition for a week or so, but lived through the incident. The husband died at the scene of the crime. My neighbor was a law abiding citizen who didn't own a firearm, so when the criminal entered the home, he was at the mercy of the criminal who possessed a firearm.
I am definitely not a "gun nut", and I believe that thorough background checks should be conducted before anyone purchases a firearm of any type. I don't think that anyone needs a military style assault rifle to protect themselves. All anyone needs to protect themselves in their home is a pistol, which should ONLY be used if you are CERTAIN you will die if you don't defend yourself with your firearm. There are so many angles that this incident can be viewed, that there really is no clear solution to the problem. Chicago's gun laws have disarmed the good, law abiding citizens, but there are tens of thousands of guns being carried by criminals on Chicago's streets. Laws are only followed by law abiding citizens, but criminals will always find a way to get a gun. Always. Even if all the guns in the U.S. were gone, it is very easy to construct a gun using a bored out pipe and a simple firing mechanism. One idea to deal with gun crime is to increase penalties for committing crimes with a gun.
I have been in some very dangerous situations when I lived in Chicago. I was held up at gunpoint and robbed of all my belongings, including my phone and my wallet. I was then ordered to take off my shoes, then the scumbag threw my shoes over the side of the road. I was completely helpless.
Why is Chicago plagued with gun crime if they have the strictest gun laws in the country?? Simple, because LAWS only disarm good, law abiding people. Criminals can get guns on the black market very easily.
Now let's take a look at Texas, the state with the most lax gun laws in the nation. Home invasions in Texas are rare because the criminals know that if they break into someone's home, they could be shot and killed. I don't believe that people should be carrying AR style rifles around, since they really don't have a purpose other than killing, or defending yourself against a large gang of gun toting criminals…
After everything I've seen, I know that gun laws simply don't protect innocent people. If some of the staff members at the school had been armed with a small pistol, they could have ended the mass shooting by eliminating the shooter. Instead, a bunch of helpless, unarmed people were killed because nobody could stop the shooter. If there are going to be "gun free zones" (which criminals don't adhere to), there needs to be a police officer at that location 24/7 to protect unarmed citizens. Otherwise, "gun free zones" are simply easy pickings for criminals with guns, because they know that they can't be stopped in an area where nobody has a firearm.
I live alone, and I currently own a small .380 LCP handgun that I keep in a holster that is attached to the side of my bed. I would never shoot anyone UNLESS I knew they were going to kill me. I have the right to keep a gun in my home to protect myself against the criminals who ignore gun laws.
I don't have the answers to the problems with gun violence in our society, but disarming the law abiding citizens is basically turning them into easy targets.
Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to keep the guns out of the criminals' hands, but allow good, law abiding citizens to own a firearm for home protection?
