The libs are going to hate this if it's true. The guy is a former NRA instructor.

A former National Rifle Assn. instructor, Willeford took with him the AR-15-style assault rifle that he keeps in a safe.
What happened next was a scenario nearly unheard of in mass shootings, but one often suggested by those in favor of a well-armed citizenry: An armed bystander got in a shootout with a mass killer and chased him out of town.
Two of Willeford’s shots apparently hit Kelley, one in the leg and one in the torso. The gunman dropped his weapon and fled in an SUV.
Solve your own problems. I didn’t call you an idiot nor infer anything about your attention skills, you did that to you.
I took it as he being Willeford as the subject of the conversation and Willeford having an AR-15.
Interview by Steven Crowder with Stephen Willeford, who stopped the gunman. I just started watching it:
Yeah it apparently didn’t come across right, but my post was supposed to be tongue in cheek: I was saying you should be calling me an idiot because I am calling myself one because I lacked comprehension. It was my attempt at a funny response to “what am I missing?” I wasn't saying "Jesus you did everything except actually call me an idiot..."
Sorry if it came off differently, again thanks for the original links (which I had been waiting for) and the follow up when I missed the subject of the question the reporter asked.

Air Force Error Allowed Texas Gunman to Buy Weapons

I understand they could try and argue that angle. But all the regulation in the world won't stop someone from not wanting to do data entry. Having another BS check still wouldn't do anything. All you have to say to shoot a new check system down is, the normal paperwork wasn't filed because of laziness or backlog, imagine if you made it even MORE paperwork that would totally fix laziness or being understaffed. I think anyone who has ever filed paperwork would drop it at a beurocrat royally screwed the pooch. This is a prime example of the system we have works if the people actually did thier jobs.Arguing the background check angle merely plays into their hand as it is an argument for MORE government control not less.

Yes and no. I think even most gun owners get behind NICS. Maybe not on NES, but in general. NICS would have worked here if it weren't for the incompetent bureaucracy that is the federal government and their failure to share information.
Texas AG: More armed law abiding citizens.

Maura? Mind blown.
They were young white men when they saved the world.People forget that if it wasn't for old white men we'd all be speaking German.
Also, there is plenty of precedent for conquering nations not to change the native language.

Translate that statement to Spanish, so they get the message.

In a way. But NICS isn’t going anywhere. And the fact remains that it would have/should have worked in this case, if Airman Snuffy hadn’t been feeling lazy that day. I think we’ll get more mileage out of the argument that existing laws are enough, which they are. More than.
My concern? The dozens/scores/hundreds of other Court-martial convicts that have also slipped through various cracks, and who’ll be spending this week buying lots of guns with false 4473s because they now think they might pass NICS. And I’m sure many will, before the USAF IG figures out the fix.
Those guns will be in the wind forever. Love NICS or hate it, this is precisely the situation it exists to prevent. And it would, if everyone was doing their simple job.

NICS only prevents some people from buying guns legally. Any one or more people who want guns can get them because they’re criminals. The only way to stop a criminal is the way Williford stopped this criminal.
Maybe, but they would be playing w/ fire because if they're caught lying on the paperwork then they're heading for the clink
