Some Cub Scout should get to the bottom of why he’s allowed guns

I don't think he is, but the fact he posted a photo of the gun on his facebook account means law enforcement should have been notified. I'm not surprised no one turned him in if it's illegal for him to own a gun but it's now extremely unsettling.

He was dishonorable discharged, which is treated as a felony. He's not legally allowed to own a gun, and anything he owned before the discharge would have to be surrendered as well. This weapon was purchased illegally.

There are differing reports. Some news outlets are reporting a dishonorable discharge while others are saying bad conduct discharge. It's a moot point considering it's against the law for individuals convicted of domestic violence to own guns, right?

Yes. Either way, it shouldn't have been in his possession.

There is no way someone whose face looks like that should be able to buy an AR

Why? We want pat and quick answers. Unfortunately there are likely no answers other than evil. I am perplexed as to what finally pushes someone to do this kind of act. We are certainly living in times of inhumanizing discourse. Unfortunately it takes a village to create a mass killer. Each is a product of a his or her village - terrorists, hate groups, gothers, etc...

Maybe we all need to control our tongues and fingys better

He was denied a gun permit by the state.

So, need to find how he got the gun and prosecute those people.

Also need to ban these kinds of weapons. Civilians don’t need these kinds of weapons. The element that supports this assault rifle culture is nuts. The whole mindset has turned me off from even browsing in most gun stores. Used to like to check out the new models of traditional shotguns and such and now most are full of this assault weapon culture garbage.

He checked the box that he had nothing in his past to disqualify him from buying a gun. Apparently that's how easy it is for a felon to buy a gun.

Kelley purchased the Ruger AR-556 rifle in April 2016 from an Academy Sports & Outdoors store in San Antonio, a law enforcement official told CNN.
When Kelley filled out the background check paperwork at the store, he checked the box to indicate he didn't have disqualifying criminal history, the official said. He listed an address in Colorado Springs, Colorado when he bought the rifle, the official said.
