To be a contractor, I wonder if he needed a security clearance and I also wonder if it was revoked over the shooting incident at his apartment.
He had clearance in 2007, from what I’ve been reading...
I understand many of the companys, such as the one he was with...hire those WITH security clearances ‘already’....which implies they may not do much further checking if they already have a clearance.
We do know not enough security checking is done...from those who do the checking they’ve often complained they are not given the time to do so.....they “rush” those doing the clearances even when they see possible red flags.
This guy had three different events mishandling rifles before this event.....he was discharged from the military for scrapping with his superiors.....among other outstanding issues which indicate even his background check to own a gun likely wasn’t anymore checked then the companies he worked for.
Basically, and as we know, if someone wants a rifle they are going to get one....gun laws won’t change that equation.....we are living in a time of lawlessness and laws are in favor of those who “do” crime...not the citizens.
