“Although these two tragedies happened more than 1,700 miles apart, they both share similarities that should result in commonsense legislation to save lives,” Mayor Sarno continued. “Is it possible that Congress can act on the common thread issues, which were both evident in the Buffalo and Uvalde mass shootings, such as, Red Flag #1: the purchase of body worn armor – why the hell would someone not authorized to wear body worn armor be able to purchase it? Red Flag #2: Both shooters were investigated for threats, but then let go? Red Flag #3: Social media rantings and threats, yet no immediate actions or alerts taken by these social media moguls who make billions of dollars!?”
“Can Congress put aside their petty politics and act on these commonsense measures to save the lives of our citizens and especially our children – everyone in our great country wants to see an end to these mass shootings. They haven’t before but I hope and pray that they prove me wrong. If not and unfortunately it will happen again and again and again.”
