OK, I give up - why was he not still rotting in prison? You break an infant's skull and you're out in one year?

This shooting should have never happened

Let me correct that for you.

The 26-year-old gunman who opened fire Sunday at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, pleaded guilty of "intentionally" breaking his infant stepson's skull in a 2012 incident, The New York Times reports. "He assaulted his stepson severely enough that he fractured his skull, and he also assaulted his wife," said former Air Force chief prosecutor Don Christensen. "He pled to intentionally doing it."

If you intentionally crack the skull of a defenseless infant you deserve to have John Cena smash your face in with a framing hammer.

I don't often agree with you on much. This is an exception.

But maybe people like that shouldn't have guns. And people who are so mentally ill that they can't take care of themselves shouldn't be allowed to have guns.

Can't we all agree to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people?

He was barred from owning guns because of his dishonourable discharge.

I believe the issue with that, is that his discharge wasn't filed correctly at the end of things.

So when he applied for the weapon, they didn't see that he had been discharged for such a crime.

Don't hold your breath, the gun lobby is against anything new that might limit even one sale.

Doesnt require anything "new". The AF screwed up when filing his discharge and it didnt make it into the record to be available for background checks.

Legally, he was prohibited from buying guns.

He fell under the Lautenberg amendment.

Yes I see now that other media are reporting it differently *sigh*

Those laws are already in place.

He was already a prohibited person; domestic abuse places him under the Lautenberg Amendment....the USAF dropped the ball somewhere along the line and he slipped through the cracks.

There needs to be a better reporting and tracking system.

That is for misdemeanor assault. He spent a year in prison so I believe it was a felony.

Regardless of what the USAF convicted him of, he still fell under the Lautenberg Amendment, which makes no distinction between Felony and Misdemeanor with regards to domestic abuse.
