Failing to see how the NRA is wrong here. We know the shooter legally bought the shotgun from a dealer. We know he passed NICS.
So we have two issues: a) should he have passed NICS and b) why was he able to run rampant?
A) is an issue with states reporting to NICS and doctors failing to report. Not sure how you fix short of criminalizing failure to report on the part of the doctors or cutting federal funding on the part of the states.
B) is the ironic one. This guy was able to run rampant on a military installation because the soldiers were disarmed.
This is completely in Obama's court as commander in chief. Clinton disarmed them via executive order. Obama can rearm them via the same action.
Well, he is saying mental illness should be flagged to prevent gun purchasing when running checks while also saying we should make sure there's ways to buy guns where a check never happens.
