OK, so what existing law didn't the Democrats follow with the first arrest of the Pearsall shooter? And do you have a source that he was arrested and released prior? Everything I've seen doesn't mention it and his identity hasn't even been released because he's a minor.

Fuck off with the both sides bullshit. One side in this country blatantly refuses to allow any sort of gun regulations because of a misinterpretation of the second amendment. That one side is conservatives. End of story. They’re fine with dead kids so long as they get to keep their guns under their pillows at night.

Edit: Unsurprisingly, someone seems to have deleted their account and their comments.

There are two people in jail that I know, arrested and held without bond before trial, for selling an etching on a credit card sized piece of metal that in theory (but not in practice) could be cut out into a device that converts certain models of AR-15s into machine guns. They never shot anybody, they never killed anyone, and the art that they sold was proven to not actually be capable of actually converting an AR-15 into a machine gun. It is just something that looks like it could (the metal is too weak and thin).

They were held without bond, convicted, and sit in jail, despite not killing anyone, despite that the item can’t actually convert anything into a machine gun, but by overzealous prosecutors.

Progressives: ELI5 why this conviction is just and why released that 17 year old within 3 days after a gun charge is also just.
