Coincidentally, my thoughts drifted into the same area and I posted this on my tumbler page:<br /><br />Substantiation? <br />Assertions and assumptions<br />Even more presumptions<br />Attached to the acts<br />with no production of facts!ScotsJamaicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755997021379033340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307187040250193857.post-18862010288808873992017-11-08T13:18:05.688-08:002017-11-08T13:18:05.688-08:00Just to be clear, you know, in the interest of not...Just to be clear, you know, in the interest of not jumping to conclusions, his record was not entered into the data base. As far as background checks go, he passed a number of them because his conviction was not properly flagged. <br /><br />At least for the weapons he bought in Colorado, he wouldn't been able to do so had the AF properly filed the conviction. The misdemeanor charges are not enough to keep one from buying a gun. <br /><br />As far as his association, it's annoying that people want to tie him to various groups. Even if he was a member of a group, unless the group itself encouraged the act or subsequently condoned it, his membership should not be enough to paint them with the same brush, no matter how bad one thinks they are. ejdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190602228388892520noreply@blogger.com
