Royal Idiot ... calls for still more gun laws to prevent another Texas style shooting ...

... given that Kelley was given a "bad-conduct discharge" from the U.S. Air Force in 2014, which is not the same as a dishonorable discharge, contrary to previous reports, and spent a year in jail after beating his wife and child in 2012--how did he obtain firearms? Yes, a dishonorable discharge would also make him a prohibited person, but either way, Kelley is a banned person; he a convicted domestic abuser.
Somehow Kelley was able to pass a background check and obtain a rifle at Academy Sports & Outdoors in April of 2016? Yet, I’m sure the search for answers on that front will be buried or lost by the incoming bout of explosive gun control diarrhea from the Left. If they want to push for more background checks, they should know that domestic violence convictions bar you from owning firearms. That provision has been on the books for quite some time. And there is no debate (or at least there shouldn't be) when you're convicted of beating your wife, girlfriend, or and in this case--your spouse and kids--you deserve to have your gun rights stripped.

Yuck. Who knows where that finger’s been.

“Somehow Kelley was able to pass a background check and obtain a rifle “
I think the Governor said the shooter didn’t pass the background check, and was not permitted to have a gun. A criminal will get a firearm if he wants one; no law will change his heart.
The FBI runs the NICS system. The gun was purchased in 2016, 8 years into the FBI being run by Obama people.
I think we have our answer.
The reports I saw and heard said he was convicted of “Assault” and not Domestic Violence, There is a Big Difference in the Law, Assault does not prevent you from firearm ownership.
I recall in the wake of the 2016 Orlando gay nightclub shooting, it was revealed that the perpetrator went into one firearms store and wished to buy a considerable amount of ammo and military style gear. His behaviour and the amount of what he wanted to purchase raised red flags with the manager who in turn refused to sell to him and contacted the FBI to report this individual. Still, nothing in terms of apprehending him and he either had enough guns and ammo or bought them elsewhere in order to carry out his rampage.
[Yuck. Who knows where that finger’s been.]
Diddling Michelle’s/Michael’s danglers....
Actually, who can say for certain that this POS was in possession of any firearm, LEGALLY?
Because the government is as incompetent at that as they are with everything else.
Doesn’t a bad conduct discharge (BCD) also prevent someone from buying a gun?
And there’s likely hundreds more known wolves to intercept... maybe thousands. They’re sketching their own profile for us, time to get to them first.
Eeeewwwww, now I’m nauseous.
Another story I recall involves Thomas Hamilton (the Dunblane, Scotland school shooting tragedy). Apparently, local junior police officers strongly recommended that Hamilton have his firearms permits revoked and his handgun collection confiscated as he had been kicked out of his local pistol shooting club for erratic behaviour and that he was fired from being a Scoutmaster due to alleged sexual assaults of young boys. This order was not carried out quite possibly due to Hamilton being a source for child pornography for corrupt senior officers who years later were revealed to have been involved in such nefarious activities.
It was reported on First Light (national radio show) this morning that he bought it at Academy Sports somewhere in Texas a couple of years ago. We don’t normally get that show but the regular local host was apparently out today.
Nobody cares what he thinks anymore.
A Dishonorable Discharge is enough.
He bought it second hand.
Apparently a bad conduct discharge (BCD)doesn’t prohibit firearm ownership. A Dishonorable Discharge (DD) does.
BCD - “Big Chicken Dinner”
DD = “Duck Dinner”
Dishonorable Discharge prevents you. He owned it illegally and knew that.
