You knew THAT was too good to be true.

Now that we're "coming out of" COVID lockdowns and everybody's been vaccinated, we ARE returning to "normal."

Unfortunately, normal for American daily life is...daily mass shootings.

Happy Monday!

Here's a snippet from just one bottle of the Morning Sixpack:

More than a year before police say 19-year-old Brandon Hole killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indiana, police temporarily detained him because of concerns about his mental health. Although Indiana has such a law (“red flag”), it’s unclear whether proceedings necessary to deny Hole a gun were initiated, experts said.

Hole’s mother had contacted law enforcement, fearing that her son would attempt “suicide by cop.”

According to the FBI, Hole’s mother contacted law enforcement in March 2020, which led Indianapolis police to place him on an “immediate detention mental health hold.” The next month, Hole was interviewed by the FBI. A shotgun was seized at Hole’s home that, according to officials, was not returned.

But in the months that followed, Hole was able to legally purchase more firearms — two assault rifles in July and September, according to police.

Washington Post

1. Assault rifle ban. Now.
2. This kid should have had all of his firearms confiscated.

When gun control opponents say “none of this would have stopped…” (figuratively) shoot them down with that bullshit. This “red flag” law should have stopped this senseless mass murder.

End of story.

Get the rest here.

Make it a great day!
