But, hey, we should take guns away from law abiding citizens, right, Beto?
Not again.
I visited Kansas City in August—and everyone I met was warm, generous, and welcoming. My heart is with all who are impacted by this tragedy. Together, communities like ours, which have been victims of gun violence, will lead the way in ending this epidemic. https://t.co/2EkrgqPwAz

Universal background checks wouldn’t solve this, because he’s already barred. Taking away people’s “assault weapons” wouldn’t matter, as he didn’t use one.
(Fox 6) One of the two men accused of opening fire inside a Kansas bar early Sunday, killing four people and wounding five others, was arrested Sunday afternoon while the other remained at large, police said.
Javier Alatorre, 23, and Hugo Villanueva-Morales, 29, were each charged with four counts of first-degree murder, police in Kansas City, Kansas, said in an early Monday release. Alatorre was arrested late Sunday afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri, but police were still looking for Villanueva-Morales, who is considered “armed and dangerous.†Bail for each was set at $1 million.
The two men, both with criminal records, apparently had a disagreement with people inside Tequila KC bar, left, and then returned with handguns a couple hours later, police spokesman Officer Thomas Tomasic. The shooting was captured on surveillance video, which police weren’t releasing. (snip)
Villanueva-Morales had a pending third-degree assault charge in Missouri. Alatorre, meanwhile, had past convictions for fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement in Kansas and for driving while intoxicated in Missouri. He also had pending charges in Missouri for tampering with a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance and resisting or interfering with arrest, detention or stop. And in 2017, an order of protection had been ordered, barring him from abusing, stalking and possessing a firearm.
It gets even more fun with Alatorre
(KC Star) Last month, Alatorre sought to get his bond reduced so that he could get out of jail. The prosecutor objected to his request, saying that Alatorre was a flight risk and danger to the community.
“The defendant has repeatedly shown this Court that if released there is no guarantee that he will appear for his next scheduled hearing,†the prosecutor argued in a court filing.
“Specifically, the defendant’s bond has been revoked on two separate occasions for failing to appear at scheduled Court hearings.â€
Prosecutors said Alatorre has committed new crimes while out on bond and that pending cases and bond conditions had no effect on the defendant’s actions.
Despite the objections, a judge granted Alatorre’s request and set his bond at $3,500 — without paying anything at all.
Then the judge released Alatorre on his on own recognizance.
In July, the Missouri Supreme Court ordered new rules regarding bond, requiring judges to first consider non-monetary conditions of release and require money only if necessary.
This is the kind of thing that Democrats like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are pushing, no-bond releases. How’d that work out?
The only thing missing is being in illegal alien status. I doubt we’ll find that with Alatorre, too many articles without, but, we do not have that much on the other perp.
But, anyway, you need to turn in your firearms over this, you big passing a background check and having no criminal history person, you.
