Can't get copy and paste to work

Many more details from his Holloman Air Force days. Sneaked guns onto base, left mental health facility and bought a bus ticket to leave town, threatened to kill military superiors. Very disturbing. He never should have been released.

Haven't heard a word about his family- just that he was living in their house on the outskirts of New Braunfels and that dad was a computer programmer. Not even sure if parents were living there as well -or any results from the search warrants there.

It gets worse. Officials in Comal County say the suspect in the Sutherland Springs church shooting was involved in an alleged sexual assault four years ago.

How many "cracks" did this monster slip through??

Where were the people who cared????
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I find it surprising, this shock that folks have when they discover the 'system' seldom works. And from it will come more laws, more strictures, more lost liberties, which will only make the system work with even less granularity, and leave law abiding citizens with less options.

All the Law is good for is showing up with the body bags.
At any given time, if you are not personally ready to defend yourself and others, you are ready to be a victim. End of story.

I read a statement made by an uncle.  David Ivey, I think.

Just confirmed that this sexual assault was investigated for 3 months then dropped because they thought he moved back to Colorado!

new info-shooter may have ordered guns online while in mental hospital.

He was on meds for ADHD, anxiety and depression.

That is a red herring, really.

The point of failure is the background check and the database it relied on.

Even if he ordered the firearm online, he still has to take delivery at an Federal Firearms Licensed dealer, and still has to fill out the Form 4473 and go through the background check at NICS.

It is moot whether he found the gun of his dreams on the web, in a mail order catalogue, or ad in a newsletter, or saw it from the customer side of the counter at the store. The same forms have to be completed and and background check(s) passed prior to taking delivery of the firearm, for the jurisdiction in which it is received.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Smokin Joe
Agreed it is moot- except for showing his desire to get his hands on guns even while in a mental clinic.

Somehow, her characterization does not surprise me.
