Gun Control Failed Again at
the First Baptist Church

Gun Control failed again. Despite our 23 thousand firearms regulations, a murderer entered a Texas church and killed 26 people. Dozens more are injured. Gun control failed..until it didn’t.

The murderer had frequently sent threatening text messages to his mother in law. She attended the church. She was not inside during the attack, but the grand-mother in-law was. Grandma was killed during the attack. The murderer was an atheist and frequently criticized religion and people with religious beliefs.

The murderer had a long history of domestic problems. He beat his first wife and child while he was in the Air Force. He received a courts martial and spent a year in the stockade for that assault. His rank was reduced and he received a bad conduct discharge. Had he received a dishonorable discharge, he would have been a prohibited person and owning firearms would have been illegal. He should have been prohibited from buying firearms because of his domestic violence conviction. The Air Force didn’t enter his criminal conviction into the FBI’s National Instant Background Check System (NCIS).

Many gun owners think that real gun control means having a gun ready and being proficient with it. This is where this second kind of gun control then saved lives. .......

This tragedy has been as expected the usual excuse for even more anti-gun rhetoric, and yet one aspect being overlooked (conveniently) is the fact that a semi auto rifle was used to help control the perpetrator. Further to that was the system breakdown whereby guns were legally bought when, had the USAF passed on details about the shooter, there would have been NICS check rejections and no sale. That one might agree, could have been an example of an existing law that might have stopped a massacre - hardly any need for even more laws.
