Devin P. Kelley, who was court martialed from the U.S. Air Force, was identified as the gunman who walked into the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday morning and murdered at least 26 people, wounding many more in the tiny, rural community near San Antonio...

.....His LinkedIn page also says, “I am a hard working dedicated person. I live by the core values on which the Air Force go by.”

However, CBS News reported that the suspect is former “US Air Force E1 (2010-2014) He received a dishonorable discharge He was court martialed in May 2014.”....

UPDATE

La Times, Wash Post, and CBS now say Kelley had a bad conduct discharge, not a dishonorable discharge.

Man identified as Texas shooter was court-martialed for assault on his spouse and child

The man authorities have identified as the shooter in the massacre at a Texas church was given a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force three years ago after being court-martialed for assault, a military spokesperson confirmed Sunday.

Federal law prohibits a person who has been dishonorably discharged from buying a firearm. Whether Kelley's discharge would trigger the law was not immediately clear......."

I quit going to my church about a month ago and do online church now. My “conservative” Missouri-Synod Lutheran Church teamed up with lutheran Social Services (FEDERAL REFUGEE CONTRACTOR) to get out of debt.

Unless I’m mistaken, every shooter in the last two years (Pulse excepted) has been prior government. Either employee or enlisted. That seems a bit odd.

I ALWAYS wear my gun unexposed on my person for I will never be one of the sheep lead to the slaughter because I can’t save my own life (and others) with a simple tool as a .380 concealed pistol.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Exactly. Every man ,woman in Texas who has the courage and physical ability should be trained for concealed carry and combat shooting. And it should be offered as a free course by the state.

Actually, the law is more straightforward than that. Under 18 USC 922(g)(6), it is a federal felony for any person discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions to possess any firearm or ammunition, and a felony under 922(d)(6) to sell or otherwise dispose a firearm to a person while knowing or having reasonable cause to believe the person was dishonorably discharged.. No need to examine whether the dishonorable discharge was the result of a general court martial or the result of a felony conviction.

The question will be who gave him this gun or sold it to him. Hard to believe it was an FFL: I have to assume an FBI check would turn up a dishonorable discharge, and it’s hard to imagine an FFL would risk getting caught selling a gun under the table.

That leaves only a few possibilities: Maybe he bought it from a non FFL at a gun show or that he found on Craig’s List (which would add fuel to the push for “universal background checks”). Maybe he bought it from a non FFL who knew him, who will now have to answer questions as to how he didn’t have reason to know this guy was dishonorably discharged. Or maybe his Antifa buddies gave it to him, which will have obvious ramifications. Or maybe the reports are inaccurate and he was not dishonorably discharged (that report does come from CBS, after all).

Thanks! I hope that comes out in the media, at least on Fox.

By the end of his life, Mark Twain had developed a very dark and cynical view of the world. Read Letters from the Earth or 1601 for confirmation. By his last years, he was a confirmed atheist.

Did you ever wonder why they delete the facebook pages of these perps? Only the FBI knows and they won’t ever tell!

Is that the source of the Antifa rumor? I have a hard time finding it credible. If there was a second shooter at large, I think at least one of the agencies involved would have said so by now. If they kept it a secret and the second shooter ended up killing someone else, there would be hell to pay for all involved.
