Well, Rep. Swally decided to use this shooting to attack his political enemies, tweeting:
Robert E. Crimo III was a 22 yr old Trump supporter who was able to legally purchase deadly military-style weapons without background checks because that is what Pro-Killer Republicans in Congress have allowed him to do.

Now, we should expect this coming from a person who is just as braindead as Joe Biden.
First, we don’t know if Crimo’s a Trump supporter. Don’t fall for the drive-by media here. The Buffalo mass shooter, Payton Gendron, was declared a right-winger and conservative even though his 180-page manifesto clearly says he hates conservatives. He was a left-wing eco-fascist with white supremacist views. If that confuses you, you’re not alone. Gendron and Crimo share the common thread that both were afflicted by mental health issues. Conservative commentator Dana Loesch was not going to allow Swalwell off the hook. She noted that Crimo bought this firearm legally—another common trait in mass shootings. He did go through a background check. Sporting rifles have been banned in Highland Park for quite some time.
It was reportedly a legal purchase. Highland Parked banned commonly owned sporting rifles a decade ago. Speaking of killers — your widely-reported communist Chinese government spy lover and cash bundler works for a regime that’s murdered millions. https://t.co/hOKg9CMcy7

If you’re going to use a tragedy for a dumb political dunk, at the very least have basic knowledge of IL firearm law. In addition to HP’s sporting rifle ban, the state has UBC, plus you have to have a FOID card to even practice by yourself at the range.
