“known to have “anger management issues,” police said.” Illinois has a Red Flag Law. Known issues...why wasn’t this law used? (Not that I favor the law.) Why? Because they don’t want to use it. It is just a law to use on those who probably will not resist the law. Use it to burn you when you mess up.
5 people dead for a political act that no one plans to enforce except on “certain” people. Read that any way you want.

Probably because the murderer wasn't a white, hetero Trump supporting conservative.
Just a guess.
