At least 20 people have been killed in a church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas

Local radio says OSI dropped the ball on entering the conviction into the records.
My guess is CID/NCIS and OSI are all frantically entering data into the National Systems so only the AF ends up looking stupid.

The gunman shouldn't have been able to legally purchase the weapon he used, but the USAF failed to enter his domestic violence charge into the proper database. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an investigation and jobs lost based on this.

Air Force Error Allowed Texas Gunman to Buy Weapons

Here, without any checks, he could've just bought a gun from a private owner with a handshake. It would be illegal on his behalf, but the seller wouldn't necessarily be held responsible.

Then there is this.

Congressman walks out of moment of silence for Texas victims: 'I can't do this again'.

How about Congress provides the funding and manpower increases needed to enforce current laws. Improve the existing databases used for background checks. New laws aren’t going to solve anything.

Man, this thing just keeps piling up. Now it turns out that the dude had escaped from a psychiatric facility in 2012, after making death threats to superiors and trying to smuggle weapons on base. The USAF really, really dropped the ball by not making sure this guy was entered into the correct system to prevent legal access to weapons.

Mental facility (usually a civilian facility) should have entered him in depending how he was admitted.

People scream for immigration reform, gun rights, etc., but...what if for a moment people did their jobs? What if we actually followed the existing laws before a knee jerk reaction to ban "x" practice or device?

The system failed (human error), this isn't a gun problem.

Don't know how many of you follow Louder with Crowder but they had an interview with the hero of Sutherland Springs, Steven Willeford. It's a little lengthy but worth a watch. Listening to this definitely makes me question the official stance that the shooter died from a self inflicted wound.
