Biden admin fights giving $230M settlement to victims of 2017 Texas church massacre
New York post | By MaryAnn Martinez

Days after a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, the Biden Administration is fighting a court-ordered $230 million verdict for the victims of a different Texas mass shooting.

The Justice Department filed an appeal in an attempt to not pay the multi-million dollar verdict to the families and victims of the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting by former Air Force airman Devin Kelley, said Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry.

“That federal judge found that the United States government was at fault for allowing the gunman to acquire a gun because the government failed to report that the gunman was dishonorably discharged, which would have prevented him even acquiring a gun,” Henry told The Post Wednesday.

This illustrates clearly That the DNC refuses to enforce background checks

The FBI cleared Dylan roof for his ability to purchase a gun.

The Biden administration refuses to pursue charges against Hunter Biden for lying on a 4473 gun purchase form.

Okay. So now it’s not only the gun owners, and NRA members who killed the victims, the Feddies have dragged the U.S. taxpayers into this flustercluck.

I assume if I was a serviceman I could be dishonorably discharged if I say the Commander-in-Chief is a demented imbecile, but should that statement of fact bar me from buying a gun?

I suspect illegal guns can be bought for big money readily.

He also had a USAF conviction for felony domestic violence where he choked a woman unconscious, they lowered the charge. He came onto base with weapons and somehow they established he was coming onto base to kill the CO. He was also arrested for extreme animal abuse.

The Air Force reported none of it.

Yet the Dementia Joe regime and the Dems had no problem whatsoever giving $40 Billion tax payer dollars to the corrupt Ukraine government and the sleazy Zelensky.
No strings attached.

This administration settled with Roof survivors($88million?) in a case with no merit all the while here refusing to pay a judgment.

‘nuff said.

There was no reason to deny Roof a permit and hence no reason to pay the $88million settlement.

And here’s how the background check examiner screwed up:

With the current leftist politicians EVERYTHING is politicized. This is why they also ALWAYS get it wrong.

There are Dem guns and there are Patriot Guns.

Patriot Guns are generally illegal ab initio.

But Dem guns? They are protected 1st amendment speech rights. Democrats are allowed to have their guns speak for them.If a Dem gun kilss a person who is a say, Whoite Supremacist, its a crime for which the perp would likely ne reeased from jail in Lo0s Angeles or NYC.

If a Patiot Gun kills in self defence , then its assumed to be arrestable manslaughter immidiately with no bail and solitray confinement until a guilty plea is entered.

Thats the stpry of Dem guns and patriot Guns.The lefties at DPJ and FBI would have put Kyle Rittenhouse in fromt of a firing squad for summary execution. Kyle had a atriot gun while others pesent had dem guns which were deemed not offensive.

Yep, we have big trouble in little China. Buy as much ammo as you can, and keep your powder dry.Organize your neighborhoods with Committees of Safety, and set up a watch schedule.The Police cannot act against a lefty criminal, without losing their jobs and reputation. So patriots have to step up. That or your “equity adjustment” from the left will find you.
