This wont stop the usial gun control freaks from demanding the repeal of the 2nd Amendment like the liberal rags ROLLING STONE or TIME magazine and the Demac-RATS calling for Gun Confiscation Micheal Bloomberg and his shadow groups Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action and of course like all brain-dead liberals they’ll blame Trump and the NRA as Obama s idiot Chicago Preist has done and the usial idiots from Hollywood and their Demand a Plan

This tragedy illustrates what I have said here in the past. If you are rural, the response time of law enforcement is too slow to arrive to give them total responsibility for your safety. You need a fire arm to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your property (including livestock) from dangerous people and natural predators. I lived it.

@kitt: Well, I’m the guy guilty of repeating what I read about the shooter being a Muslim convert, which appears to be incorrect. Indeed, it is important not to allow emotions and deep feelings from interfering with the collection of facts.

Texas shooter was ANTIFA,
Co VOTING record registration from 2014 lists his party as ‘UAF’ (United Against Fascism)

UAF is the AntiFA party that calls anyone to the right of Hillary a “Nazi.”

He wrote on his background check at a hunting store in San Antonio that he didn’t have a “disqualifying criminal history.”
He also had to lie about a question on domestic abuse.

In CA, I recall, the state was given 3 days to check the veracity of these gun application questionaires.
Maybe in Texas they trust too much.

Thank goodness there was a legal gun owner who chased him 11 miles until he drove his truck off the road.

@Nanny G: No matter what one fills out on a form, a background check is carried out by the FBI.

@Bill… Deplorable Me, #3:

The left will definitely rally to call for more gun control restrictions. Never mind that this shooter was DENIED the right to purchase or possess a gun.

Obviously he was not denied the ability to purchase or possess. As everyone knows—or should know, because the loophole in the law has been endlessly discussed and defended—there are NO federal requirements for background checks by secondary sellers. This is informally known as the “gun show loophole,” though the loophole extends to any private-party seller of a firearm.

The left calls for better regulation with every new incident of mass murder—which, in the event you haven’t noticed, are now occurring on an increasingly frequent basis. And the right predictably argues that tighter regulation would make no difference whatsoever, because scores can be mowed down by other means. Maybe the Las Vegas shooter could have attacked the crowd by driving a pickup truck off the roof of a parking garage, or by going after them with a sword.

@Greg: Perhaps part of “sensible gun control” would be a law that says laws should be enforced?

@Greg:

No, but as we know, he did not go through secondary sellers.

Kelley was banned (or should have been) for having a domestic violence conviction. There. Done. Kelley has no weapon. Weapons are not allowed in churches. So, what the f**k happened?

And before the first siren was heard, a citizen legally possessing a weapon stopped him.
