We don't know that yet,” said Rep. Tony Lovasco, a Republican from the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon. “Generally speaking, we don't charge people with crimes because we think they're going to hurt someone.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the police are more trigger happy, there are more real guns out there, and fortunately more videos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Not a mass shooting, but always nice to see a pro gun nut offed by his own weapon, especially when it's self inflicted and hilarious like this.
