how wrong you are...as a constitutionalist, I respect the entire constitution.. its the liberals that are constantly trashing, and talking crap about the constitution


the constitution is a great document, actually the document was made to fit all ages/generations/centuries...and made to be adjusted through amendments

one of the problems is the fascist liberals do not know how to actually read...and understand what is actually written, like, the power is at the state level for those things not specifically mentioned in the US Constitution

one of the things the liberals constantly fail to mention is that some of the things actually mentioned in the constitution ONLY affect the federal government

for example:

please note a difference between the 1st amendment and the 2nd amendment

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


Amendment II
A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

notice the 1st amendment clearly states that Congress (federal level) shall make no law (but states CAN)....where as the 2nd amendment simply says that this right shall not be infringed...meaning at any level


and liberals cant even figure out what the 2nd amendment means.. or how abolishing it would also abolish the 1st, 4th, and 5th amendments too

YouTube is full of videos of cops desperately trying to manufacture a crime in order to charge someone that is completely innocent. It's a very common occurrence. Is it not possible that that could be happening with the Father?

I don't know if that is illegal under Illinois law. If it is, then the Father broke the law. If it isn't, then there doesn't seem to be anything to charge him with, and desperately trying to manufacture a non-existent fact scenario (not saying you're doing this) or expanding an existing law way beyond its plain language meaning in an attempt to ensnare him is wrong.

The man charged with killing seven people at a Chicago-area July Fourth parade slipped past the safeguards of an Illinois "red flag" law

I would say the father has broken no law as such and you are right, that claim could be manufactured.

So yes, it is possible that could be happening with the Father.

There is another press statement that doesn't make sense, that being that the police said "that the shooter used a high power rifle". That doesn't make sense because what high power rifle is there that can fore so many rounds in a short time? Then I hear that the shooter used an AR15. Just an example of contradictory statements caused by inaccurate speech possibly. Or do the cops not know what a high power rifle is?

The point being that we should never assume that what we hear is accurate!

I don't understand this desire to snare as many people as possible in a pseudo-web of culpability instead of holding the perpetrator responsible for his or her actions.

I know of no law being broken by the Father, but I'm sure that could change as more information comes out. But if he didn't break the law, trying to find him somehow responsible, and criminally charge him, is a big problem.
The father sure sounds like he was covering for his son when the police visited his home and took the 14 knives and swords in his sons room The father claimed they were his and he was just storing them in his sons room. That's a great place to store them considering his son had threatened suicide and threatened violence.

Looking at the form he signed for his son to get the license it appears he didn't lie but he sure was aware that he had mental issues. The father was responsible for any misuse of that gun and his son's history is now out in the open.

Illinois FOID application (link works eventually just keep trying)

San Francisco Bay Area media circus hasn't mentioned a peep about this shooting/shooter starting around 24 - 48 hours after it happened. Curiosity begs the question "why?".

Seems very likely those agencies will be sued, for failing to act and keep this man from legally purchasing FIVE weapons, and then slaughtering paradegoers.
Correction: the taxpayers will be sued

Well, somebody needs a teeth rattling.

The application for ownership of a firearm is exceptionally week. NEVER does it say have law enforcement been called to your home for felony behavior, or a suicide or other harmful or aggressive behaviors in the past 5 years? Please describe in the attached form.

It's not that hard to figure out if someone is about to blow away the public. Just ask those who know the applicant.

The father signed this affidavit claiming his son was not mentally defective in order to get the FOID card. I think the father has at least civil case against him if not criminal.
