HIGHLAND PARK, Ill., July 5 (Reuters) - The man charged with killing seven people at a Chicago-area July Fourth parade slipped past the safeguards of an Illinois "red flag" law designed to prevent people deemed to have violent tendencies from getting guns, officials revealed on Tuesday.

Sergeant Chris Covelli of the Lake County Sheriff's Office said earlier in the day that Crimo had legally purchased a total of five guns, including the suspected murder weapon, despite having come to law enforcement's attention twice for behavior suggesting he might harm himself or others.
The first instance was an April 2019 emergency-911 call reporting Crimo had attempted suicide, followed in September of that year by a police visit regarding alleged threats "to kill everyone" that he had directed at family members, Covelli said.

If an individual has a tattoo on their face, you don’t need red flag laws to discern their character and intent.
Face tattoos will now be allowed in the Canadian Armed Forces. Our neighbors to the north are unhappy that their military’s dress code hasn’t ‘kept up with the times’ and doesn’t reflect Canadian society as it is now’.
In California, I believe, it is illegal to discriminate against someone with an ‘ethnic’ hairdo. Soon it will be illegal to discriminate against those who sport face tattoos as well.
Dad signed off on his FOID (Illinois Firearm Owner’s ID required to buy or possess firearms and/or ammo). Was this before or after the lad threatened to kill the family? Now, dad didn’t shoot up his town, but dad did have this obviously disturbed kid living in his basement. Kid hasn’t had a job in two years. Where did the money come from to buy five firearms?
More proof that gun control does not work.
gun control laws don't work...we need more gun control laws...
These guys are working it like the anti-smoking lobby. Get it all but one bite at a time.
All they ever wanted was their own section in the restaurant...Right???
“IOW, they weren’t doing their jobs?”
Exactly, why have laws if the LEO’s won’t bother enforcing them. Fire all involved!
“Slipped by” more like strutting by and waving his hand with the middle finger extended.
His, not their.
Shouldn’t the “ “ be around “slipped by”?
I don’t understand why they keep saying he purchased them lawfully. He would have had choose “no” to question “e” in the ATF 4473 form claiming he was not an illegal user of drugs. From all accounts he WAS an illegal user of the drugs and committed a felony when filling out the form.

Would you take away Jr's gun with this mom telling you what a sweet son she has?
These parents look like they are right out of Haight- Ashbury WTH??
Red Flag laws don’t apply to the Gay Mafia, Antifa, BLM or radical Democrats.
Or guys running around in dresses.
Slipped past the Highland Farce “assault weapon” ban too!

The kid may not have been the only loon in the family...
You do realize his father ran for Mayor of Highland Park as a Republican and lost to the pro gun control Democrat right.
Who knew a simple dress could beat red flag laws?
I call BS on that graphic. The Desert Tech MDR is the 4th best rifle in the US?
