The alleged Michigan State shooter, Anthony Dwayne McRae, was previously charged with a felony, but was still able to buy guns. Here's why.

McRae purchased two guns in 2021 in Michigan, a law enforcement source said. One was a Taurus pistol, and the other was a Hi-Point 9 mm pistol, according to the source.

It's not clear why McRae might have planned to target schools in New Jersey. Ewing police said the "investigation revealed that McRae had a history of mental health issues," but did not elaborate.his son became bitter, isolated and "evil angry" after his mother died from a stroke two years ago and "didn't care about anything no more."

"We just have to live each day from here on out, reaching out for help when we need it and getting through the harder days together," Kovach said. "I cannot tell you how we go forward, but I will tell you that Spartans will heal together."After his 2019 plea deal, McRae's probation was "extended a couple of times," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told CNN.

"Somebody who is having mental health issues, somebody who just had been illegally possessing a gun, and look how easy it was for him to obtain a weapon even in the wake of all that. Something's gotta change," she said from the site of the vigil."We don't even have universal background checks here in Michigan," Nessel added.

"As much as we loved her, she loved us and others even more," Anderson's family said in a statement to WDIV. "She was passionate about helping her friends and family, assisting children and serving people." While authorities have not identified them, student Guadalupe Huapilla-Pérez is one of the wounded, according to a verified GoFundMe account and the National HEP/CAMP Association, which Huapilla-Pérez participated in at school.

It was because a woke prosecutor didn't enforce the law in the name of equity.

Wait until Illinois felons get to change their names. They’ll be free to commit more crimes too.

I cannot even wrap my head around this devastating tragedy

Because actually enforcing laws on the books is somehow racist. 🤔

This is click bait. He wasn’t found guilty. People are charged with felonies all the time and found innocent, plea to a less crime (if stated doesn’t have sufficient evidence), etc. Just because you were charged with a felony doesn’t mean you right to trial&bear arms go away🤡

So a criminal was able to get guns? I thought that was against the law? It’s a good thing people want to take away the rights of law abiding citizens because they can’t stop criminals.
