Some families don't believe in getting help for it and ignore symptoms or make excuses for them. Yes, I understand that. My only point is that he passed the background checks (or could have, even if Texas doesn't require them). If background checks look for prior criminal behavior and past-or-current mental illness, he still would have been able to buy the guns. No net catches every fish.

Can people please do some simple checking before posting stuff? This took me all of 20 seconds. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/trans-womans-photo-used-spread-baseless-online-theory-texas-shooter-rcna30511 That article wasn't online yet, so it might have taken you 20 seconds, but it would not have appeared in search the day before it was actually posted.

Article is the date after the OP in my time zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunsuch Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 OK. It's true that the story I found was published after the OP here and for that I apologize. But there was literally zero credible evidence for the "gender dysphoria" allegations and all the rest from any reliable sources. I'm of course less concerned that people here re-posted, but that such obviously problematic sources (4chan?) were believed by public officials and others is disturbing.

Agreed, that's why I edited the post and removed it. I remember Peter West from Catholic Answers so I trusted his post just out of association.
