    Despite his mental issues, nothing under Florida law that would have stopped Nikolas Cruz from purchasing the AR-15 rifle authorities say he used.https://usat.ly/2Gix9jS

        " And the man who has taken more than any other Florida politico from the NRA — $3.3 million as of this past October — still doesn't want to talk about what he's going to do about it. That's because he's going to do jack... which is exactly what the NRA pays for him to do."pic.twitter.com/890z1IrSCO

        Well, neither one of your “quotes” is from the article, so what’s your point? And the first “quote” is just wrong. Do a little research before blindly requoting things....

        "Background checks are not required in private gun sales in the state of Florida...If a convicted felon, a mentally ill person or an underage person privately bought a gun, the state of Florida wouldn’t know. And under Florida law, it’s illegal to create a database of gun owners"

        How does anybody know he has mental issues? He's a hater, but that's not a mental issue. He's a criminal, but that's not a mental issue. He was expelled from school--again, not a mental issue. Well, maybe that last one means he's a troublemaker.

        He’s scared of the death penalty, so others like him might also be. Put him through trial and kill him in a week and we might have a solution :)

        BREAKING: @FBI says “a person close to” the #FloridaShooter contacted FBI on JANUARY 5 OF THIS YEAR to report concerns that Cruz might conduct a school shooting. FBI said they did NOT follow proper protocol in investigating the threat. How did FBI screw up this bad????

        How is this the FBI's role? Florida put a gun in his hands with some of the most lax gun laws. FBI get 1000 tips a day with 12 people to investigate. This is a Florida problem.

        Omg!!!! FBI is the most elite police force in our country! They were warned twice that Cruz was going to shoot up the school!! They always say, if you see something, say something! County police called to the home 39 times, fbi told twice! Complete failure of our law enforcement!
