I was being reported that this guy had little to no contact with his family for quite a few years.

That is sad, but not uncommon. It also explains why they are shocked at what he has done.

The media seems fixated on his Dad. That is a waste of time.

Not for them. This guy seems to be clean, no reasons to fail a background check, and possibly a little Progressive but not a screaming radical. Certainly not a racist or Trump supporter, so they have nothing.

So, they create the idea that we need to do background checks on ancestors to make sure that a person and their entire bloodline is safe to own a gun.

I was very surprised by the family response. Strange.

Not so...one brother said they had contact within the last two weeks. Also said he had 3 years of emails. Unusual??

I have 5 years of emails of my kids.
