Or maybe a little of both; seems like we need to do a much better job helping people with mental health issues, and then the gun industry needs to be on board with that as well so the wrong people have a hell of a hard time getting a gun. Of course, you can always circumvent the law and just buy one from a criminal, but the number of mentally ill people who are going to pull that off might be much lower, which would help. The father should be charged with criminally negligent manslaughter,imo. On the flipside,let's face some facts,in most major cities,a person can purchase a "hot" firearm as easy as they could a ice cream cone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's from Morton, which is down state near Peoria. Very conserative area where they cling to God and their guns. Probably why they gave him his weapons back. Yet... Morton is pretty affluent. Median income is almost double than where I live. Cost of living is dirt cheap. Also, home to Caterpillar. It's 96% white. "Family Circle magazine ranked Morton one of its "10 best towns for families" in 2013." Tazwell County is solid Red, right next to that light blue county (Peoria) on other side of Illinois river. Basket of Deplorable central... Must not be raising family right down there. I am in Will County... That light blue one south of cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
