The Texas shooter was a convicted wife abuser who did a year in prison and was sold a gun. Period. You cannot run away from the fact that a proper background check would have disqualified him from purchasing this weapon.

That raises an interesting question. It's true that the
background-check laws would exclude someone found guilty of violent
domestic abuse, that this was a *military* court that did so. I wonder
if there is even a channel for military courts to inform the FBI/NICS
system that there is an exclusionary violation for any individual?


The New York Times says there is, and says as well the Air Force effed
up in not reporting it:

Yeah, I caught that, and it's been on the news tonight.

You probably know that such non-reporting is the biggest problem with
the background-check NICS system. IIRC, that's also how the kid who
shot up Virginia Tech got through. In that case, it was a mnetal
hospital or clinic that knew he had crossed the line for firearms
possession, but never reported it.

Several state police organizations have said they can't do it in cases
of crime reporting, because they don't have the funding for it.

But as long as there is no way to control private sales, it's just
window dressing, anyway. The NRA's lobbying has been very effective.
