In summary: this guy got past background checks because some incompetent and/or apathetic bureaucrat somewhere in the Air Force didn't bother to forward the FBI a summary of this guy's domestic abuse felony, and now we have to comb through the records of military courts to see just how many violent felons can still buy guns. Any ideas on what could have caused breakdown in discipline like this in our armed forces? Any ideas on what could have prevented it, or could prevent future incidents?
The gunman who slaughtered 26 people at a Texas church was able to buy weapons because the Air Force failed to report his domestic violence conviction to the federal database that is used to conduct background checks on would-be gun purchasers, authorities said Monday.
