I don't understand why no one is looking at the family.

It's common knowledge that people convicted of domestic violence can't own/possess firearms.

You can't tell me they didn't know.

The air force dropped the ball in reporting his court martial and dishonorable discharge (for abusing his wife) so that he'd be flagged on a background check as convicted FELON and therefore INELIGIBLE to purchase the weapons he did. The laws to stop him from purchasing the weapon he used already existed and weren't properly followed.

No new law in the world could've prevented this.
