It proves not a thing about the availability of guns, except that maybe we needed more good guys with guns to avoid even more deaths. It proves freedom is risky. So, the question is, do you accept the risk, or do you want less freedom?
Those that would trade genuine freedom for "perceived safety" deserve neither.

Was it a Dishonorable Discharge or a Bad Conduct Discharge? Two sites I looked at didn't say that someone discharged with a BCD was not allowed to own a firearm.
If the charge that resulted in his BCD was a felony, it is still a Federal felony conviction and that would result in being "barred" from possessing firearms.
Maybe he bought it through "Fast and Furious" using the Democrats discount code.
Air Force Error Allowed Texas Gunman to Buy Weapons
Under federal law, the conviction of the gunman, Devin P. Kelley, for domestic assault on his wife and toddler stepson — he had cracked the child’s skull — should have stopped Mr. Kelley from legally purchasing the military-style rifle and three other guns he acquired in the last four years.
“The Air Force has launched a review of how the service handled the criminal records of former Airman Devin P. Kelley following his 2012 domestic violence conviction,” the Air Force said in a statement.
The statement said Heather Wilson, the Air Force secretary, and Gen. David Goldfein, the Air Force chief of staff, had ordered the Air Force inspector general to “conduct a complete review of the Kelley case.”
The Air Force also said it was looking into whether other convictions had been improperly left unreported to the federal database for firearms background checks.
New details of the killings also emerged on Monday, including a possible motive. Law enforcement officials said Mr. Kelley may have been driven by anger toward his estranged wife’s family, the final chapter in a life full of domestic rage. In addition to his court-martial, in which his previous wife was the victim, he had been investigated on a rape complaint, though he was not charged and his relationship to the woman in the complaint was unclear.
