Government Incompetence Led to Lafayette Shooter Purchasing Weapon

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Looks like the Lafayette shooter was able to purchase a gun because an office clerk forgot to input his mental health record into the system.

The court records reviewed by The Associated Press strongly suggest Houser should have been reported to the state and federal databases used to keep people with serious mental illnesses from buying firearms, legal experts said.

“It sure does seem like something failed,” said Judge Susan Tate, who presides over a probate court in Athens, Georgia, and has studied issues relating to weapons and the mentally ill. “I have no idea how he was able to get a firearm.”
