Texas Shooter Was Banned From Buying Firearms Due To Mental Issues; Prior Purchase Attempt Denied

The gunman who went on a rampage in West Texas Saturday was deemed mentally unfit and had been banned from buying firearms in the criminal background check system, according to the Wall Street Journal.

36-year-old Seth Ator, who a neighbor described as a "violent, aggressive person," killed seven people when he opened fire in an Odessa movie theater after being fired from his oil services job earlier that morning.

Authorities are investigating whether Ator bought the gun he used in the shooting.

Most mass shooters already end up with the death penalty. Often self inflicted.

Another victory for the NRA. They pay their bills in the blood of innocent Americans.
