yeeeeah!!!

This, too.

This is not the place/thread to make this post in, so don’t do it again.

This is a warning for you for being a jerk/trolling.

Sorry. bad joke. Fingers crossed for those fighting for their lives.

Apparently it was a Bad Conduct Discharge, not a Dishonorable Discharge, which doesn’t forbid firearm ownership.

One of the things that needs to happen is not giving the perpetrators of these crimes all the coverage they wanted in the first place.
No names, no life history, no nothing, give them nothing and maybe then we’ll start seeing less of it.

Ora et labora.

You’re not supposed to just pray, you’re supposed to work towards improving the situation.

edit: Oh, screw it. This’ll just keep happening.

I think this would just add to the fear and paranoia of the public surrounding these incidents, not knowing anything about how or why.

It’s anger, hate, and madness that motivates most of these shootings, not so much hunger for fame.

More details will continue to come out I’m sure. You can only get a dishonorable discharge as part of a sentence from a general court martial. He most likely had a special court martial. That means the maximum punishments are less. It’s roughly equivalent to going to trial for a serious misdemeanor rather than a felony. A bad conduct discharge does not in itself mean you can’t own a firearm.

However his conviction was for domestic violence. A domestic violence conviction should make owning or possessing a firearm illegal. The information has changed several times so to be sure we will have to wait and see.

Good Morning. So are we looking at 26 including the killer dead or 26 plus the killer totaling 27?

Various reports are saying the gunman killed 26, so 27 total dead.

It seems that Devin Kelley was a fanatical atheist.

It’s not yet clear if that was the reason he shot up a church.

Don’t link to the Daily Mail as if it were a reputable news source.

Just turned off NPR after hearing someone go on about how this was supposedly “worse” because it occurred in a house of worship. Why is that worse than any other conceivable location?

I’ve read that doesn’t apply to court martial decisions, but IANAL. Regardless, CNN reported that he bought the weapon from a Academy Sports in 2016, which is a major sporting goods store in the area, and posted pictures of it on Facebook. Neither of those are the actions of someone who purchased a firearm illegally.
