China Joe says that universal background checks will stop this stuff or something
Suspect in FedEx shooting used two assault rifles he bought legally: police
The suspect in a mass shooting at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, Ind., used two assault rifles during the attack that he purchased legally, police said Saturday.
Brandon Scott Hole, 19, allegedly open fire on a Fedex facility late Thursday evening, resulting in the deaths of eight people. He was identified as the suspect by Friday afternoon.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed on Twitter that Hole was “witnessed using assault rifles in the assault.â€
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) traced the two weapons, and found that Hole legally purchased them in July and September of 2020.
Legally purchased means he passed the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which is the law in Indiana. This, even after warnings to the FBI
The update comes after the FBI revealed that Hole’s mother in March of 2020 warned that her son might try to commit “suicide by cop.”
The Indianapolis Metro Police Department last year placed Hole “on an immediate detention mental health temporary hold†after officials received the warning, the FBI said.
Indianapolis Police Chief Randal Taylor told The New York Times that Hole’s ability to legally purchase a gun despite his mother’s warning meant that he was not subjected to the state’s “red flag” law, which prohibits those deemed a risk by a judge from possessing a firearm.
So, Red Flag laws were ineffective. And, if the FBI was involved, there was no excuse that the information wasn’t in their database, unlike many times where someone commits a criminal act and the info never makes it to the background check system. Of course, Hole may have simply been cleared by the FBI, hence, not blocked from purchase because people still have Rights. But, the FBI did seize Hole’s shotgun during their interview, and hadn’t returned it. Huh.
(Breitbart) Breitbart News reported that the March 22, 2021, Boulder attacker bought his gun “legally†too, as did the March 16, 2021, Atlanta-area gunman.
In fact, the overwhelming majority of high profile attackers acquire their guns by complying with background checks, rather than going around them.
Here is a just a partial list of other attackers who got their guns by complying with gun control laws:
- Parkland high school attacker (February 14, 2018)
- Texas church attacker (November 5, 2017)
- Las Vegas attacker (October 1, 2017)
- Alexandria attacker (June 14, 2017))
- Orlando attacker (June 12, 2016)
- UCLA gunman (June 1, 2016))
- San Bernardino attackers (December 2, 2015)
- Colorado Springs attacker (October 31, 2015)
- Umpqua Community College attacker (October 1, 2015)
- Alison Parker’s attacker (August 26, 2015)
- Lafayette movie theater attacker (July 23, 2015)
- Chattanooga attacker (July 16, 2015)
- Alleged Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal attacker (Jun 17, 2015)
- Muhammad Carton Contest attackers (May 3, 2014)
- Las Vegas cop killers (June 9, 2015)
- Santa Barbara attacker (May 23, 2014)
- Fort Hood attacker (April 2, 2014)
- Arapahoe High School attacker (December 13, 2013)
- D.C. Navy Yard attacker (September 16, 2013)
- Aurora movie theater attacker (July 20, 2012)
- Gabby Giffords’ attacker (January 8, 2011)
- Fort Hood attacker (November 5, 2009)
- Northern Illinois University attacker (February 14, 2008)
- Virginia Tech attacker (April 16, 2007).
Oops? So, universal background checks will totally work, right? Anyhow, while all the articles say that Hole bought and used 2 “assault rifles”, I can’t find anyone who says what they were or shows them.
Meanwhile, neither China Joe nor most Democrats are concerned with the continuing shootings in Democrat run cities like Chicago, Baltimore, LA, NYC, and so many others. Mostly because they don’t care that blacks are shooting blacks. I bet universal background checks will totally stop this, right?
