If Odessa shooting proves anything it is that criminals don’t follow gun laws
By Jeff Dunetz September 3, 2019
The shooting in Odessa, Texas, the latest in what seems like an endless onslaught of such heinous crimes, is now in the history books. And once again, the Left is demonstrating its inability or unwillingness to follow the sage admonition by George Santayana that those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
Before the bodies of the most recent victims had a chance to cool, Democrats were screaming for “universal†background checks. But additional background checks would not have prevented the deaths in Odessa because the shooter, Seth Ator, had a criminal record and had failed a background check but still ended up with the weapon that would claim seven lives. In other words, criminals don’t follow laws, including gun laws.
In a tweet Monday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote that the gunman not only had a criminal history but previously failed a gun purchase background check in Texas†and “didn’t go thru a background check for the gun he used in Odessa.â€
