#1 Let's not be too harsh. That Pr0n isn't going to watch itself.

#2 The basis of the dishonorable discharge by way of courts martial shouldn't have been any reason to avoid reporting the finding which as a felony conviction should have been entered. Doesn't anyone know how to play this game?

#4 The Air Force dropped the ball. However, legally-owned firearms often become stolen illegal firearms and find their way into a black market.

#5 Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?

Those are the questions that journalists are supposed to ask. Even in high school journalism classes, even junior high school, this mantra is drilled into the students. The answer to one of those basic questions is missing in this article. Can you guess which one it is?

Last night I watched CBS news and I'm guessing their coverage wasn't too much different than ABC, NBC or CNN. They went to great lengths to talk to people in Sutherland Springs and tell all of their stories as well as those of the victims. I feel sorry for those people. I really do. But what I really want to know is who dropped the ball, why was this nut case allowed to buy guns and what is being done to fix it. Not a peep about that from CBS. With all of the investigative resources available to that organization, not one peep, no indication whatsoever that they are even thinking about that one little basic question. They were careful, however, to include calls for more gun control by various left wing congresscritters. Instead of more gun control, why can't the laws that are already on the books be enforced?

#6 Churches are easy targets for ISIS and the deranged left.

Church's need a carry concealed members at the door as people enter and exit and doors that can be secured once the service starts.

We also need people to start telling the cops when their friend, who they know has mental issues, starts to post violent things on Facebook. Might save their friend from a suicide or worse.

Unfortunately I think most of the deranged left don't have many friends.

#7 "Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein directed a complete review of the Kelley case by the Air Force Office of the Inspector General," Stefanek said. "The Service will also conduct a comprehensive review of Air Force databases to ensure records in other cases have been reported correctly. The Air Force has also requested that the Department of Defense Inspector General review records and procedures across the Department of Defense."

OK. I guess I should have followed the link and read the entire article before I went off. Doesn't let CBS off the hook though. News organizations like that should be hounding the Pentagon for answers.

#8 Despite all the clamor about the in-laws, I do not think family issues were the only (or even the main) reason he shot up the church.

I think it was straight up anti-Christian hatred. If he wanted just the in-laws, he could of shot them in a more secluded spot with fewer panicked people running into the line of fire. He wouldn't have needed to kill children. He wouldn't have concentrated on the pastor's family.

You need to concentrate on his vicious screeds on facebook. These will tell you what he was really thinking.

#9 It gets worse. Kelley escaped from the looney bin in 2012. The dishonorable discharge should have been a disqualifier for a weapon purchase. He also assaulted his wife and child. The child suffered a skull fracture. He was denied a carry permit.

#10 I've heard both that he received a BCD and a DD.

Only the DD specifically prohibits owing firearms. If he got a BCD, there was no firearm prohibition.
