NYC Gunman Held on Psychiatric Hold in 2022 and 2023 [View all]

breaking on CNN. Yet he was able to buy guns and held a concealed carry permit? He was able to bring an AR-15 across the country and murder people in a state with laws against such weapons?

Looks like the old "mental health" excuse means nothing if some states are just going to hand out access to guns like candy. WE NEED FEDERAL GUN CONTROL NOW!!!!!
