This is so horrific, I can’t even begin to imagine how devestating this is for
the families. I heard that the police officer killed had 7 children. As a gun owner,
I had no problems whatsoever going through handgun training and background
check, 7 day waiting period, etc. I don’t understand why this is an issue.
Colorado had an assault weapon ban since 2018, but a judged overturned it
10 days before this recent shooting. The shooter bought the gun 6 days
before the shooting. It’s possible this never would have happened.
Banning ‘assault weapons’ won’t stop these attacks. If someone is hell bent on shooting innocent bystanders they will use whatever weapon is available. To think if these weapons are banned than these attacks will stop is just plain naive. I don’t think we have heard about this guys background. He may have been able to own a gun.
Everyone’s a law-abiding citizen until they aren’t. You’ll never hear about the person
that maybe the gun laws in their state kept them from doing something so horrific.
