Police in Odessa and Midland looking for active shooter

[NKBJ]

Have any of you's guys followed the years of "shoes" work of Ole Dammegard?
He really is an entertaining fellow and fun in interviews. Plus, he has correctly called some mass shootings in advance which gives pause.

... because he failed a federal background check.

Oops.

Anyone figure out where he lived vs where he worked vs where he got pulled over? Maybe he was on his way to work?

Wait.... wasn't the shooting on Sunday or Saturday? Was his work open?

This link doesn't answer your question, but does quote a neighbor that explains he had some ..... issues.

Well. That’s what they wanted. You can just feel the collective “gotcha” from all the anti-gun zealots.

FIFY...

Wonder if the Federal government could pass a background check in a buyback?

This seems like a bad time to be kicking out our only effective lobbying organization...

And that's why i haven't given up on them. I have joined the GOA as well as donated to the FPC but, YES, the NRA is the only organization that has any pull in DC.

We should be asking why people failing background checks aren't being arrested.

My brother fails a background check nearly every time he buys a gun. He's not a prohibited possessor but something in the system flags him. There's probably numbers out there on this but my cynical side is guessing the number of false failures is pretty high.

The number of false positives are very high.
The others should be prosecuted.

Both should be pointed out.

My question is why can no one answer why he was denied on a background check. The only thing coming up in his criminal history is a couple misdemeanors from 18 years ago, which would not of prohibited him. Surely by now they know the answer to that question, which brings me to why are they not revealing that answer?

I keep wondering about that myself. Denied in the NICS process, it's either a false-positive or prohibited possessor. I read public intoxication in 2014, and the NICS denial was "mental health issue".

They keep screaming PRIVATE SALE!!! but my money is on since there wasn't a 4473 for the transfer to the dirtbag murderer that's an assumption. Stolen? The trail must have gone cold on the weapon and FFLs.


A law enforcement official says the gunman who killed seven people in Texas has failed a background check in 2014 because of a “mental health issue.”

The official tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that Seth Ator had attempted to purchase a firearm in 2014 but was denied after a federal background check.
The official said Ator was able to obtain the rifle used in SaturdayÂ’s rampage in West Texas through a private gun sale, skirting the background check process.

Well, maybe they're on the list and it shows up in the computer.

Thats the first ive seen of this. Thanks for posting the link.

My question is why can no one answer why he was denied on a background check...

"The gunman who killed seven people and wounded 23 others in a rampage across West Texas on Saturday obtained the assault-style rifle used through a private sale after he was banned from having a firearm because he was diagnosed with a mental illness, media reported."

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...=Feed:+reuters/topNews+(News+/+US+/+Top+News)

And then there is this missed opportunity...https://nypost.com/2019/09/01/texas-mass-shooter-threatened-neighbor-shot-animals-from-roof-report/ ..."She said cops tried to confront Ator following her report to them last month, but his property didn’t show up on GPS and was difficult to find." Like "she" the neighbor couldn't point out where he lived??? Doesn't sound like they tried very hard.

 

[bwframe]

The officials were quick to come out with the "fact" the the shooter was not upset from being fired. They wanted it clear that the man came into work very very troubled. Interesting that they are not saying why the man was fired.

This is smelling like we are not hearing anything but the anti-gun lib news media narratives?

 

[NKBJ]

Do you think maybe something had him troubled?
Really?

News content is craft.
Absorb all of it you want.
