I mean they both raised a number of red flags and we're either unmonitored as Cho was (He had court appointed therapy or some **** that he didn't go to on more than one occasion) and this Hasan guy was clearly raising red flags all over the place for being off his rocker.
Neither should have gotten a gun. Cho was certifiable and documented and Hassan was being tracked by FBI. Our system failed in both instances.
I find it hard to believe that a Soldier in the Army would not pass a background check.
You'd be surprised. However, Hassan had a SECRET clearance from our Govt. That should disturb you more. But if the big, mean Army would have taken it away because Hassan was a radical, it might have hurt his feelings.
I bought a pistol at the exact same store Hassan did about two years ago. It took all of ten minutes to get screened and cleared. I did it on a lunch break from work.
As for Cho...where did his guns come from again?
He walked into a gun shop and bought them.
