I've heard he took it from a friend's father's gun safe. Haven't heard anything definitive. Anyone know?
He made a legal purchase, filled out an ATF background check form
Bought it legally at a Gun Shop.
Owner has now closed up.
Why would the owner close up.. unless he did not do a background check.. then he deserves to be arrested. But until then, I feel sorry for the guy.
The Russians gave it to him because Trump asked Putin to do so.
If Comey hadn't been fired this never would have happened.
Apparently openly and notoriously posting death threats to shoot up schools doesnt flag your name in the ATF data base
Probably some NRA guy gave it to him, back when he was still trying to defeat Trump in the Primary.
Probably the local fake news and useful idiots making it his fault.
Yeah. Those Fan Belt Inspectors who must pass everyone with the NICS background check had 2 strong reports on Cruz saying he was dangerous to himself and others. They decided to ignore it.
Not to mention multiple calls to the home by the police because of violent and disturbing behaviour. Seems like he should have been unable to purchase a weapon.
Besides being bombarded by liberals, he felt maybe he should have used more discretion, even though the kid acted normal and passed the background check.
I’m sure he feels remorse, but he did it by the book.
I’d guess he probably received a bunch of death threats from the Left and feared for his and his family safety
Cruz owned the weapon, and kept it in a gun safe at the house of the Sneads, with whom he was staying, upon the insistence of Mr. Snead. He had a key to the safe. This information is widely available, so your vanity was rather unnecessary.
Nothing would come up on the background check. He’s never been arrested.
there’s an article from the Sun Sentinel today with a pic of the people the shooter was living with titled..
“We had a monster living under our roof and we didn’t know”
I guess those school expulsions and police visits and knowing he had guns in his room didn’t count
He made a legal purchase, filled out an ATF background check form
Obama’s background on background on background check made no difference even with 39 visits to his house by Police
He made a legal purchase, filled out an ATF background check form

Here (ATF) is another data base I suppose the FBI conveniently failed to check.
Lighten up Francis
From NYT: No laws were violated in the procurement of this weapon, said Peter J. Forcelli, the special agent in charge for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Miami.”
I can’t see how SAIC Forcelli is not lying thru his teeth regarding the form 4473.
“Not to mention multiple calls to the home by the police because of violent and disturbing behaviour. Seems like he should have been unable to purchase a weapon.”
In my town that probably would disqualify a person from a concealed weapon permit, but lack of arrest or commitment is not going to flag the national database used in the background check.
