Right wingers, and unstable gun enthusiasts often claim legal gun owners just don't commit crimes. Not sure why, but they are rarely corrected for such a huge lie. One thing almost all mass shooters have in common is how they legally got their AR15, which is the weapon of choice for most mass shooters. Mass shooters are known as Good Guys With A Gun, right up until they open fire. There is no doubt that shooters generally match a pattern, and enacting red flag laws and universal background checks would have denied many mass shooters the weapons used in their attacks. It's past time for reasonable gun control, and only a fool can't see that.
From 1966 to 2019, 77 percent of mass shooters obtained the weapons they used in their crimes through legal purchases.

Hey…..shit head……
Number of mass public shooters in 2022?
12
12 people out of over 350 million.
So, dipshit……….12 people out of over 350 million people is not normal gun owners committing crimes…..
Meanwhile, in the other 19,000 gun murders in 2023…..those murderers are career criminals……captured by police over and over again and then released by democrat party judges, prosecutors and politicians…….
So yes….we are absolutely right. Normal gun owners do not commit crimes…….
And no….the AR-15 is still not the weapon of choice for mass public shooters…that would be the hand gun…,,,
They have involuntary commitment laws in every state you dumb ass……and the families, schools and law enforcement in those states knew the various 12 nuts were dangerous….and we find out over and over again that they did nothing to help those individuals….,
Red flag laws do nothing as we saw in the latest shooting where the shooter was already in a psych ward, the police were told by his military chain of command he was an actual threat….
Universal background checks have nothing to do with mass public shootings since the only crime most of the 12 mass shooters committed was the shooting…so they can pass any federal background check…..
The only reason you want universal background checks is to demand gun registration, which you need when you get the power to confiscate guns…
