Re: At least 6 dead and two dozen injured after shooting in Highland Park, Illinois
Automatic weapons require an NFA stamp and background check and registration. And only automatic weapons made before a certain year are allowed for purchase.Username Taken wrote:Have we established a reason yet why so many Joe Averages living in urban areas need to own automatic weapons?
Rabbits and squirrels?
Why not just rephrase it as need to own a nuclear missile, or M1 Abrams tank, or F-35 fighter?
Those are equally unobtainable by the ‘Joe Average’ as well.
Article states high powered rifle. Never heard of any news story saying low powered rifle. Stories are always written with a certain agenda in mind.

...so much for background checks...
This from a CNN report:
"...in September 2019, a family member reported that Crimo threatened 'to kill everyone' and had a collection of knives, Covelli said. Police removed 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from their residence. Highland Park police reported the incident to Illinois State Police.
"'At that time there was no probable cause to arrest. There were no complaints that were signed by any of the victims,' Covelli said.
"Shortly after the September incident, Crimo legally purchased five firearms -- a combination of rifles, a pistol and possibly a shotgun -- between 2020 and 2021, according to Covelli. In order to buy firearms in Illinois, individuals need a 'Firearm Owners Identification' (FOID) card. Crimo was under 21, so he was sponsored by his father, state police said in a news release. Crimo's application was not denied because there was 'insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger' at the time."

Why would you sponsor your son to purchase firearms if he has already threatened to kill everyone. The sad part was that innocent people paid the price for the dad's stupidity and not the dad. The dad should somehow be held responsible for his son's actions.
