In April 2016, Kelley purchased the Ruger AR-556 rifle he allegedly used in the shooting from a store in San Antonio, Texas, a law enforcement official said. There was no disqualifying information in the background check conducted as required for the purchase, a law enforcement official told CNN.
So pretty much the background check system didnt know this asshole had a dishonorable discharge? Once again the federal government asleep on the job and not enforcing the damn laws we already have. At least he didnt buy this on a private sale.http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/06/us/texas-church-shooting/index.html
The POS apparently lied on his 4473.
Also his in-laws attended the church but were not in attendance yesterday. The choice of this church may have had a personal connection for him.

This will give anti-gun advocates more reason to push for stronger background checks. I am a bit surprised that he passed it. I've seen people with absolutely no criminal background get a yellow status while trying to purchase. They would have to wait a while for the issues to be cleared up.http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/06/us/texas-church-shooting/index.html

IMO you touched on it there. Certainly mental issues play a part, but morals are not taught in many homes these days. When I was young, certainly things weren't perfect, but parents were more apt to instill a sense of morals in their children.If it's not some sort of mental issue, it's the abandonment of morals.

Pretty much! Maybe mostly but not all.Every new generation is lazier less respectful and more corrupt then anything that preceded it as the old timers will always tell you.
That's pretty much how you instill morals, like you, I am very happy my kids learned something growing up.You could also argue lack of discipline and accountability on the parent’s part.
We both held our children accountable and disciplined them as appropriate while they lived in our household.
And for many years after, one of the two still resent us for that. She’s a teacher now and is beginning to understand.
Our other is a Ranger qualified Infantry Lieutenant leading mean in combat. He has openly said that in retrospect, we should have applied more rigor in the accountability department. I think we got it just about right with him.

The latest news I've read about this, he killed himself after crashing his car. It's not clear if he was injured by the guy who shot at him.
