After what happened today in Brooklyn, Congress must pass bi-partisan, common sense, U-Haul truck control.

This is a true weapon of mass destruction. When equipped with the right materials it can bring down buildings!

Ban these weapons of mass destruction!

Everyone knows: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a truck is a good guy with a truck. When seconds count, the transportation and safety administration under Pettie-pie Buttigege is light years away. Join the national u-haul drivers association now.

In fact you don't even need to have a franchise or anything to rent them on your property. WD can start renting them tomorrow.

Wondering if the fbi could have prevented this incident?
Warning signs [snick] or red flag laws?

To best of my knowledge you need a driver license to get a U Hall, or any rental, vehicle. FBI don't usually get involved it but if crazy or have the extreme mental health problems you can get denied a driver's license.
