Where in the world do they come up with this stuff?

because they assume we are a separate country ?? been straighten folks out on twitter all day.

Cooper, coward that he is, didn't blink.

That doesn't surprise me because they have been pushing their "universal background check" garbage for a long while now. Despite the fact that the rifle was, by all accounts, purchased at an Academy.

Tying this to gun shows has always betrayed their ignorance / collective malevolence. Am I required to perform a background check on somebody before I sell them a gun? No. Yes, I am required to not knowingly sell a gun to a prohibited person. But more importantly, I want to make sure I am not. As a responsible gun owner, I sell to my fellow CHLers and friends or not at all. The vast majority of gun owners are like this.

Nobody is getting out of prison and stocking up at gun shows. The "loophole" bogeyman dressed up to further involve the government in our business needs to die on the vine. And I'm sick of these statists dancing in the blood of innocent people and screaming about it before the bodies have even cooled. Look how well NICS seems to be working. Who wouldn't want that for everyone?

not to mention the fact the air force failed to notify FBI, to have the ncic database updated to reflect he was convicted of domestic violence. so teh ncic checks came back as OK to sell.
It was man that failed by some gs4 air-force clerk failing to follow through that allowed the killer to acquire his weapons using the the same system that should have prevented it.


cnn just cracks me up, flash back to hurricane ike and mr. cooper doing live shots from houston area. camera frame had him up to his belt in "high" water. never mind about 1k yards away in the frame was a truck with water just touching the tires. camera pans down to get truck out of frame and a PUPPY walks up towards mr. cooper, I said WALKS, then mr cooper moves toward puppy and low and behold mr cooper was standing in a drainage ditch, the puppy on almost dry ground..it was priceless as he tried to make like it was no big deal. mean while the sidewalk was only wet with rain, not flooding.

yep i read that this morning....so air force and dod dropped the ball on this guy. his neighbors thought he was nuts ..

GOG bless the good Samaritans, i like armed citizen better interrupted the guy


friends called all day asking why God let this happen, I told then God didnt fail, MEN did .

one of the dead really tore me up, a pregnant woman that was 7 months along. God bless their souls as well as all who lost their lives.

well i have been on twitter most of the day. I was relaxing and my phone started blowing up\\
BIG thanks to who ever found his court martial file. WOW. I just heard it was for domestic violence.
NM has some tough laws regarding DM, but holloman AFB is remote and maybe the AF took it to handle the case vice the local jurisdiction or the DM happened on base in quarters that are provided.
his FB page had Antifa propaganda and the usual crap.
Did he buy the ar type firearm before court martial and discharge?
one big disconnect is military and civilian reporting for NCIC database. Military drags its feet about reporting to civilians anything other than capital crimes. Air force may not have ever turned in the DM conviction to ncic. or the AF didn't convict for DM but did convict some other parsed down DM crime. then dishonorable discharged him. a dishonorable is not an automatic restriction from purchasing firearms, and was his discharge an other than honorable 6 months after discharge and what is its status now?

Very sad that the good folks at church were the victims, I am catholic and my church used to allow concealed carry, but then the big wigs pushed the priests to forbid it. so we pray elsewhere.
good thing we had a sheepdog today and he probably saved more lives. I cant help but think where this nut was going after he left the church, maybe round two up the road? reports he was shooting outside the church first.

should be an interesting next few days
