Gee, that Firearms Owner ID really slowed him down, didn't it?
Illinois has a form of mandatory background check too.
Never mind that shooting at people is illegal in Virginia.
Crossing state lines to commit a felony is illegal.
If he didn't have a valid Virginia concealed handgun permit (Virginia accepts Illinois' permits) it was illegal for him to have had a centerfire rifle with a magazine that would hold more than 20 rounds because the shooting was in Alexandria.
One gets the impression that these laws don't really affect behavior.
Update:
According to his own Facebook page, he was a Bernie supporter. (Who knows how long that link will be live)
Sanders himself has confirmed that the jerks was a campaign volunteer.
ReplyDeleteSadly it appears again and again that guns don't kill people, Democrats kill people.
