Hmmm, people are shooting it up in Odessa / Midland right now

[Longhair1957]

Now it’s AR15s should be banned. But, we are going to tell you who the shooter is. We’re gonna tell you he’s a white male mid 30s. But they’re not gonna allow us to look up anything on our own and figure anything out. Don’t show pictures don’t show names then we can say anything we want. We can say he’s a horrible white supremacist that wanted to kill everybody of color. I recall a previous shooting that they originally claimed was a white guy that turned out to be a Muslim. And remember that Zimmerman guy. They kept claiming he was a white guy. But he was Mexican. I just find it pretty strange that the news media is keeping from telling anybody who the shooter was. Something is very fishy with the shooting. Also just come the weekend before Congress goes back in so they can vote on gun control. How convenient

Authorities identified the shooter as Seth Aaron Ator, 36, of Odessa. Online court records show Ator was arrested in 2001 for a misdemeanor offense that would not have prevented him from legally purchasing firearms in Texas, although authorities have not said where Ator got his weapon.

Ator acted alone and federal investigators believe the shooter had no ties to any domestic or international terrorism group, FBI special agent Christopher Combs said.

Now I read that he called the Local PD and he called the FBI ranting on the day of the shooting. His neighbor called police on him earlier and while the details are sketchy the police never visited him because they couldn't locate his shack on the GPS so they stopped looking?!

His bosses called 911 the the day of the shooting.

I know Law enforcement is busy but .. this sounds more like an indictment against the actions by law enforcement than one against gun ownership. Once again ... go hard after the criminals and not inanimate objects. Sounds like they had enough opportunity to get this guy.

So far, we have been amazingly lucky that none of these psychos has bought his gun at a gun show. Fingers crossed again this time. If he bought his rifle at a gun show, then the screams for Universal Background Checks will drown out all reason. I hope he is another one who bought his gun after a background check.

Finally, after years of psychos passing background checks, the libs finally have their poster boy. Turns out this particular psycho (Midland) did not pass the background checks, so bought his gun in a private sale. "Universal background checks," here we go.

New drinking game: take a shot every time you hear the word "loophole."
We'll all die of alcohol poisoning in about 10 minutes.

Why would anyone sell to this guy?

This is the angle needed to push universal background checks

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/03/report-midland-shooter-acquired-gun-privately-seller-may-face-charges/

The Midland-Odessa shooter who attacked innocents on Saturday reportedly acquired his gun privately in order to avoid drawing attention to himself via a background check.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R) noted Monday that the Midland attacker had “previously failed a gun purchase background check in Texas.” At that time no one knew the means by which the gun used in Midland was acquired, but on Tuesday CBS DFW reported the shooter acquired the gun privately “to evade the background check where he would have been flagged.”
The person who sold the gun to the Midland shooter may face “federal charges.” Such charges would depend on what the seller knew about the shooter, including knowledge of things such as the shooter’s mental condition and the fact the shooter had already failed a background check.

I am sure all the shootings in Chicago are done by upstanding citizens that went through background checks to get their firearms.
Nothing is said about them and they shoot more people every year than all the so called mass shootings combined.

AAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD the media has gone silent!! Just passing references, no on-going outrage, no further demands....nothing!

Something tells me that the suspect did not fit their agenda. Cause his photo may suggest other than "white male" specifically with teardrop eye tattoos.
