Original Note:
From the article: “It's unclear this week whether a federal background check would have stopped the purchase.” Regardless of the circumstances of this shooting, the majority of guns used in mass shootings are purchased legally by people that pass a NICS background check. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/crime/2023/12/14/austin-shooting-spree-shooter-shane-james-gun-background-check-active-warrants-family-assault/71910840007/
