Who needs a high paying job that brings respect when you can lose it all for a few thousand bucks?

How'd the gun get from the CI to the shooter?

Police stations across America make tons of money off of school shootings. The constant threat guarantees their budgets will increase.

If only the GOP would impeach Larry krasner this sheriff's deputy would never have sold these guns /s

If the founding fathers didn't want people selling high-powered, high-capacity semi-automatic rifles to strangers in a Wal Mart parking lot at 3 AM for well above their retail value then they would have said so in the constitution!

It explains that the cop sold the guns to the CI. Unless the CI was the school shooter, the gun was then transferred at least one more time.

If the cops know enough about the initial buy to know what was said, how/why was that gun allowed to be transferred further?

Our Sheriff's Office budget was almost doubled after Sandy Hook and they put officers in every school. They also got all-new cruisers, bulletproof vests, and high-powered rifles. The sheriff tried to get a helicopter, but the commissioners told him he could rent a Cessna from the local airport in emergencies. LOL (they did rent one during the 2017 solar eclipse so they could watch the traffic jams). LOL

Wrong question. The shooting happened on September 27. The sale happened on October 13. The former cop got the gun *after* the shooting. So the question is: how did he get it?

Yes, yes, the article/media seems to be trying to imply the former cop supplied the gun for the shooting. He did not.

Not to be pedantic but Philadelphia's sheriff's office is a separate entity than the police department.

Not surprised to hear they're dirty though. The head sheriff we had prior was a complete scumbag.

Well then that cop is just dumb. If you're going to disappear a gun from the evidence room, why would you disappear one from a school shooting and not one from some schmo with a drug arrest or whatever?

Police sell more than just guns to young people.

2nd Amendment was meant to stop the federal government from grabbing state militias to use in a federal army, anyway, because the slave states were worried about slave uprisings if their militias got depleted that way.

There are no private well-regulated militias in the US. Closest thing to what the Founders were arguing about is the National Guard. We're at least not enough of a joke so the National Guard is committing school shootings, but . . . .
