Yeah, and was reported constantly by the neighbors for shooting a rifle off the roof, he called the FBI to report on himself that he was cracking up, and nobody did anything. so he goes off the rails, and everyone’s solution is to come after my civil rights.
Everything points toward a new move for universal registration and capacity restrictions. “Closing the gun show loophole”.
To go with those Red Flag laws.
The police really worked hard to ignore this guy
So our current laws would have prevented this nut from having a gun and what did Law enforcement do when made aware of the threat? Do we need more laws or do we need enforcement?
It is unclear how the gunman, identified Sunday as 36-year-old Seth Aaron Ator, obtained the AR-style rifle he used when he opened fire on Saturday, fatally shooting a trooper, two police officers and four others.
I’m very interested to see what the gun trace is going to uncover. And if it can be determined if it was a private sale or stolen?
Given that we’re all so skeptical, I won’t be surprised to learn that this was a private sale and will obviously be used for the push for, universal background checks. Amazing how certain events can happen at such an opportune time, to push an agenda. The timing is amazing.
Everything and nothing about this case makes sense.
The shooter was shooting animals off his roof, according to a NEIGHBOR, but the cops couldn’t find his house. But the FBI found it and did a search warrant on it.
He called the police and FBI before the shooting started.....kind of like posting a manifesto on 8chan or something like that, huh?
He was getting pulled over, never stopped, which means the cops shouldn’t have stopped and got out of their cars, and he was able to turn around in the driver seat with a rifle and shoot the cops.
Then he drove from Midland to Odessa, stopping and shooting people intermittently and the cops never engaged him or tried to run his car off the road.
This guy was nothing but a patsy and we’re being played.
Guns are just narcotics drugs... If you want them … you can get your hands on them.
I live in a small town but if I want narcotics at any time of the day or night...I’m pretty sure where I could get them.
Laws only work on people willing to follow them. The powers that be know this.
But it doesn't matter. They have minions that work on getting laws that take our rights, night and day, day and night, while we are working for a living to take care of our families. They are coming for our gun rights, and we have no power at all to stop it, short of mass violence. Which won't happen, because we are not made of the same stuff as our ancestors.
Besides wanting to know how he obtained the rifle, it would be good to know how he failed the background check when he attempted to purchase. According to the report, he wasn’t a felon. So perhaps he just lied on the form regarding his misdemeanor conviction and was caught?
Bring back the Mental Institutions that were closed in the 50’s and 60’s, gun laws will not fix this.
How convenient, just as the Left is screaming for a gun registry (I mean, "universal background checks").
If I put my tinfoil cap on, you have to wonder why the push now (red flag laws and a registry)? Whose timetable, and why is it urgent that the public be disarmed? What plans does the Deep State have for Nigel?
It’s called a straw purchase—a fairly common practice. Illegal, but easy to do and difficult to prevent. If you want sensible gun control, that’s where law enforcement needs to crack down.
I would like the FBI to release the COMPLETE recording of the actual call the shooter made to the FBI prior to the rampage.
1. How do they know he failed a background check?
2. Are they keeping a history of all background checks so they can go back and see if you failed, or if you had one, if something happens?
That guy did some bad things, so we should all surrender our firearms.
Lol
Nuts.
The problem is when LE knows about people like this and does NOTHING.
They keep telling us that we need more gun control and better laws, but what we have now should be working but it isn’t because they have to follow and enforce the law for it to be effective.

That is going to be an interesting answer if they do find out. The Serial #
on the weapon used should provide some history on the weapon. Was it stolen,
loaned to him, purchased from another person, etc? Somewhere along the
line the serial # will reveal some info.
A law-abiding citizen who fails a background check will remain unarmed. A criminal who fails a background check won’t care and will be armed if he wants to be.
