        The father should be charged with murder as he was complicit to his sons actions by returning guns to him. Or is the father another member of the right-wing extremists group?

        How about the authorities who returned the guns to the dad? Guns don’t kill people, bureaucracy does.

        He can be charged! Idk if will survive the judicial process. Father will be civilly liable. Focus should be on the Sheriff of that Illinois County for given gun(s) back. Why? Ask why? Property room for safe keeping. But, he could have got gun elsewhere. But, maybe not a AK-47.

        This is such a shitty headline. You have a breaking side story about how law enforcement returned the weapons to the father and the father gave them BACK TO THE MURDERER; and then you write click bait smh

        Leave the father out of this. I am sure he did what he thought was right as most fathers do. Neither the father nor the gun killed those people. Always trying to blame people’s actions in someone else. #FakeNews

        Does the same rule apply to those government employees who failed to report mentally ill people and resulted in murders?
