Here’s Why The Odessa Killer Failed A Background But Still Got A Gun Anyway

Even if the seller was oblivious to the killer’s status as a prohibited person, there’s no guarantee that he wouldn’t have gotten his hands on a firearm anyway. Hell, the same seller may have still conducted the sale without a background check even if such a check had been required. As I previously said, enforcement is a problem.

At the end of the day, though, one thing hasn’t changed. This is the clear result of a deranged mind that seemed to believe killing the innocent was a thing that he should do. No amount of gun control is going to stop that. They could use a van or even a knife. They’ll still be deranged lunatics regardless of what weapons they use.

But removing guns from the law-abiding citizen is not now, nor has it ever been the answer to this or any other problem. If only anti-gunners would grasp that for a change.
