This is a big issue with "military courts" they pretend they're real courts but operate autonomously of the rest of society. The guy who gunned him down should never have to pay for another drink for the rest of his life.
Military courts aren't the justice system.
No but the ones dealing with the rape charge and animal cruelty charge certainly are.
Even a piece if shit is entitled to due process. A dropped rape charge and animal cruelty aren't enough to lock someone up. Combined with the air force stuff, maybe, but them not doing their job isn't the justice systems fault.
If this guy wasn't allowed to have a gun due to his past, then the gun control discussion is moot. Everybody agrees that this guy should not have the gun he had, so where's the problem?
It merely shows that gun control is not going to save us due to errors made in the system or, a guy or gal with bad intent, is going to bypass these regulations. Just gun control is going to do exactly what we've seen here in Texas. And more gun control is going to equate to more of this. Due to the political nature of the subject, we always fail to recognize mental health state in America which is in a horrendous shape. But then, NRA supporters should at least rally around the idea of a medical record check in addition of a criminal record check before the purchase of a gun. It's a small price to pay. You get to keep your gun, and nutcases are more easily identified to get at least more effective gun control which is ion the interest of the gun owner as well as the gunophobe.
But the most important step in the direction of mental health issues.
Before we politicize these tragedies, look at the whole picture. Guns are a factor, but let's not ignore the rest.
That's basically my point. One of our military institutions had a guy they identified as "off". Instead of getting him help with his mental issues, they just kicked him out and left society to deal with him.If this guy wasn't allowed to have a gun due to his past, then the gun control discussion is moot. Everybody agrees that this guy should not have the gun he had, so where's the problem?

I'm sure it happens all the time.
And in addition to that, when we do, we give them unstable prescription drugs, that leaves people psychotic. Real extensive treatment, other forms of therapy, are seldom the first consideration while they should be. It's how we treat our kids, and they will be adults someday with the problems still existing.
This sentence rubs me the wrong way.
70% easily.
Excellent job avoiding the question. I don't think anyone picked up on it. Your secret is safe with me!
that's delusional.
that's what I was going to say, more likely we'd have a military coup than 70% of ppl in the armed forces kicking doors down to take away law abiding citizens' guns
"I, Young Filthy, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
there's no expiration date on my oath.
She's deep.
the phone can be unlocked without building back doors or systemically compromising personal privacy.
Of 23 high-income countries, 91% of children killed by firearms in 2010 were from the US, according to a study published in The American Journal of Medicine last year.
Nothing to look at here.
Nothing to look at here.
I think it is about legislation anyways, and not just this phone, that they want access out in the open with our blessings, and from a legal standpoint. In trade of for our security of course.
Freedom is not accurately valued anymore. We exchange it easily for a sense of security, a sense, not security itself.
That would be obvious if you have a country that has active gun ownership. Let's say we stop driving cars, then we can't have car accidents anymore. We trade things off with our (and our childrens) lives. We choose to have alcohol around, drugs, fast food, all that things that claim vastly more lives than guns. But we keep them around and make that trade off. So in the US they choose to have guns.
also, the definition of 'children' is highly fungible. 17 yo that's been in and out of jail for 5 years gets dropped in a drug-deal-gone-wrong...
"Think of the children!"
edit - this study a 'child' is 14 and under. But context of the violence is what matters, not the age of the deceased.
