Though Vang's background isn't entirely clear, his criminal history is, and includes multiple run-ins with Twin Cities law enforcement. St. Paul police have responded to four incidents at Vang's Fourth Street address. The matters have involved domestic abuse and possible thefts.,
So why was he allowed to even get a hunting license or own a weapon? I believe in the 2nd amendment, but I think criminals do lose constitutional rights once they have been convicted of crimes especially violent crimes.

And a response by law enforcement does not neccessarily mean that he was doing anything-- it could have been thefts of his stuff, even. Frankly, the way this story is worded could be completely unfair (acknowledging, of course, this person is apparently guilty of the shootings alleged).

So why was he allowed to even get a hunting license or own a weapon? According to the local news, he was never charged and convicted in any of those previous incidents, therefore his right to possess a gun is unrestrained.
Oddly enough, though, the local stations are reporting that he was convicted and fined for poaching last year, which may explain why he was hunting in Wisconsin: he probably couldn't get a license in Minnesota.

No felony convictions.
The left and ACLU types protect these while blasting lawful gun owners.

It didn't say he was convicted did it? I can't believe he wasn't especially with the domestic abuse record.

If he gets off on an insanity plea, they better change his name and gender and relocate him to another country. He will have a bunch of people looking for him
