An exclusive interview with Stephen Willeford, the hero who ended the killing spree in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Stephen recounts the actions that lead him to confronting Devin Patrick Kelley outside First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs.
"On Monday, the Air Force admitted that it had failed to enter information from Mr. Kelley’s domestic violence court-martial into a federal database that could have blocked him from buying the weapon used in the church attack." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/us/devin-patrick-kelley-texas.html?ribbon-ad-idx=5&rref=us&module=Ribbon&version=context®ion=Header&action=click&contentCollection=U.S.&pgtype=article

Too? This type of mass killing profile was the most common prior to radical Islam usurping the brand. This is the classic stereotype of the nihilist rampage that started on a mass scale with Columbine. This dude seems to get it, and what questions we should be asking:

Yeah I watched the whole podcast. Totally agree with Junger.
Lack of real connection with people and not having a sense of belonging. It's poison to the human psyche and in the extreme cases, we get mass shootings.

This guy could not have stopped the killer without his "scary black rifle".
The background checks didn't work because the Air Force failed to submit his conviction to the background check database. Yet your answer to a bloated incompetent Federal Government not doing it's job is that we need to surrender more of our liberty to the bloaded incompetent Federal Government.

So in this case the gun control would have worked but because the AF failed to do its job properly the gun control couldn't do what it was supposed to do...which is protect citizens.
