He had a previous record, but don't know what, other than he had served time.
He killed his son in 2001.
The man was a convicted felon and had a record of violence and murder.
Which is why the background checks on gun sales loopholes need to be closed.
First of all, there aren't any loopholes idiot. And second, you don't even know wether he owned the gun, borrowed it or stole it.
Calling me names isn't going to make what you said true or make what I said any less true.
There are loopholes in the background check law. People don't get background checks in private sales at gun shows and on line or face to face sales.
That's a loophole. A way to get around the intent of the law.
No we don't know how he got that gun but he sure didn't get it at a regular gun store. He wouldn't have been able to pass the background check.
He got it through a private transaction or from just borrowing it from someone else.
You can also go to some shady guy in a crappy neighborhood and get a piece. How does a background check law prevent that from happening?
It doesn't. But it does prevent the nonshady guys from being able to defend themselves from the shady guy.
