On the contrary. This is grist for their gun control mill.
So the localities are not following the laws already on the books, so somehow more laws are going to help?
A couple of the Denver news stations this morning were trying to push that it ‘might’ be a ‘ghost gun’ that was ‘fully automatic’.
Exactly what were the makes and models of the guns used? I’ve read, a long rifle, and AR 15 style but that’s no help.
I just read Aldrich changed his name just before turning 16, which some saying that is why he was able to get gun:

If he purchased a firearm or ammunition while he had pending felony kidnapping and menacing charges against him then he did not purchase the firearm legally. He would be a prohibited person under the federal Gun Control Act and could not legally buy or possess firearms or ammunition unless and until the charges were dismissed. 18 U.S.C. ยง 922(n) makes it illegal for any person under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to ship, transport, or receive firearms or ammunition. He most likely lied on his ATF 4473 form, which is also illegal but rarely prosecuted.
I have a novel idea. How about we start enforcing existing gun control laws before enacting new ones?
Yeah well he wouldn’t have been able to had the law been upheld and he was charged for domestic terrorism when he threatened his mother with a bomb- He woudl have been deemed a felon and not able to purchase a gun-
Who allowed him to walk scott free again? $1 says it was a liberal!
The Republican Sheriff of El Paso County Colorado does not agree with ‘red flag’ laws.
Could someone tell me if the suspect is a LGBT+?
