1. The shooter had a firearm liscense

What would a backround check have done?

And he bought his gun at a store where a check was done.

2. Shh, don't let facts get in the way of a good wharrgarble. Gotta strike while the iron's hot. n/t

[dlwickham]

5. wasn't he on some sort of watch list

that isn't checked because of Congress not passing a bill that requires one to check said list

[aikoaiko]

6. He was for a bit but the FBI cleared him. He wasn't on the terror watch list anymore

For example, he could fly without w problem.

FBI Directir explained it.

3. just as i thought, both of my republican senators voted to block; bob & lamar

just a bunch of good old boy multii-multi millionaires from tennessee

4. So his history of

domestic violence wasn't known to the gun dealer? Wife beater and on the terror watch list to boot.

Nobody could have seen it coming <sarc>.

But, as an American, his 2A rights trumps common sense and safety.

7. There's no record of a DV conviction or being on the watchlist when he bought the guns

He passed his background checks
