The Air Force repeatedly failed to submit records to the gun background check system, allowing a former airman who had been imprisoned for domestic violence to buy guns he later used to kill 26 people in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history, according to a report out Friday from the Defense Department’s Inspector General.
ThinkProgress has separately learned that the Defense Department has not yet submitted reports that Congress required this year on how DOD is working to prevent similar tragedies, despite legal deadlines.
