Do away with the second amendment and stop manufacturing the damn things. People aren’t smart enough to own such a weapon.

Hey Bill, I’d be willing to bet my paycheck that the 16 year old wasn’t a licensed, 2nd amendment abiding citizen. The old addage applies here… if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them. I’d also be willing to bet that these children’s parents probably didn’t do their job… prove me wrong

I love how people assume and like to put there 2 cents in, because cornholi0 you need to check your facts before you run your mouth because my son was killed by someone and you think I didn’t do my job except I raised him right since birth when I can bet you lost your kids when your wife left you and took them because you can’t keep your mouth shut
