The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
— President Biden (@POTUS) May 25, 2022
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

Democrats are so r-slurred about this stuff. They'd do a lot better if they went the route of "We just want solid background checks so that criminals can't have guns." Even Reagan pushed that platform, because hating criminals is a very Republican viewpoint.
But because Democrats love to virtue-signal rather than accomplishing anything effective (and perhaps because they lack all empathy and are thus incapable of understanding anything from the Republican perspective), they always try instead for taking away everybody's guns - a delusional idea that will never happen. These people absolutely don't know what they're doing.

It wouldn’t even stop this case because he did go through a background check when he bought the guns from a licensed dealer. He had a clean criminal record despite getting in multiple fistfights at school and throwing dead cats at neighbor’s houses. The school/admin didn’t bother to actually report any of this behavior, and apparently the classmates that were able to confirm his Instagram account as his didn’t think “huh the loner emo boy we literally call a school shooter bought guns, I wonder what for” and never bothered reporting it.
The school admin and everyone who knew who he was and saw his Instagram posts failed those children, and yes I am fricking seething that we live in a society. He was telegraphing this shit hard and no one fricking bothered to lift a finger. He may as well posted a notice on the door of the school saying “I’m coming here with a gun tomorrow to kill kids.”

The Parkland shooter was forbidden from physically setting foot on campus for his senior year due to his deranged behavior, had the cops come to his house like twenty times in the year before the shooting, and had been reported to the FBI for threats he made online MULTIPLE TIMES.
The authorities in this country are fantastically inept at every single level of government and whenever they royally frick up they're eager to deflect and use it to seize more rights from the people.
