The Air Force said Monday it failed to enter Kelley’s conviction for choking and kicking his wife and striking his young stepson hard enough to fracture his skill into a federal database. It could have prevented him from purchasing the firearm he used in Sunday’s massacre.

Classic case of deflecting blame....That, and he's a professor so he's likely a very far left liberal loon.

I hear he's on Twitter. Unfortunately (in this case), I am not.

I'm mostly ok with limitations on explosives, because they are dangerous as stored, not just as used. However, there should be some level of generally available explosives, or a relatively simple permit process to own up to modest quantities of dynamite stick powered stuff.

I can think of a few ways to self manufacture explosives. And with stuff you can buy in most reasonably equipped drug stores!

We had a kid in my high school that made some nitro-glycerine in chemistry class. I had 2 uncles in construction, one of them doing a crushed gravel job for the forest service.

He used fertilizer+diesel fuel with a 1/4 stick of dynamite to detonate it. Like that truck load of the same stuff that blew up that office building in some city. (don't remember which one, but AIR, the asshole was executed.

Like the USAFA Commandant who castigated the ENTIRE Corps before the results of the investigation were complete.
