COLORADO SPRINGS — Before a gunman entered a rural Texas church with a ballistic vest and a military-style rifle, killing at least 26 people on Sunday, he was convicted of assaulting his wife and breaking his infant stepson’s skull.

In 2012, while stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, Devin P. Kelley, 26, was charged with “assault on his spouse and assault on their child,” according to the Air Force.
How was this not a disqualifier for the NICS background check? ETA: If the Academy purchase is true??

My understanding is he was discharged on bad conduct, but not a dishonorable. That would still allow him to be eligible for a firearm. Was probably a plea-down to lower level
