More On Texas Mega-Church Shooter

From PJ Media: "Megachurch Shooter, an Alien Who Should Have Been Deported, Likely Voted in 2020 Election." Although the shooter's mother-in-law, Walli Carranza, is blaming "lax" Texas gun laws for her tranny daughter-in-law being able to purchase the weapons used in the shooting, the article points out:

    ... The woman had suffered from schizophrenia and had multiple past arrests, and yet, mainstream news sources are reporting that she was able to buy guns legally. For example, CNN stated, "The shooter used an AR-15 with a 'Palestine' sticker on it during the attack, which she legally purchased in December, police said. She also had a .22 caliber weapon in her bag that was not used, according to a federal law enforcement source."

 Carranza suggests, for instance, that red-flag laws would have helped. But as the article continues:

    ... in court filings during divorce proceedings between her son, Enrique Carranza III, and the shooter, Carranza revealed the courts had been involved with Moreno's mental health, reports ABC:

The mother-in-law's affidavit also suggests that Moreno should not have been able to own a gun, claiming that under an alias, Moreno had been under involuntary psychiatric commitment at least four times.

Moreno's former husband, Enrique Carranza III, also said in a separation-related affidavit that "She is a diagnosed schizophrenic and [Child Protective Services] has told her that she cannot have a gun."

On top of her prior arrests, there is this:

Still another roadblock to Moreno obtaining a legal firearm is the fact that she is not a U.S. citizen. She was born in El Salvador, and it's unclear what her current resident status is. But during the divorce proceedings (approximately 2020-2022), she was deportable: ...

The article also has more information on her having voted in the 2020 election although not a U.S. citizen.

  1. Sounds like that 'mandatory' background check let us down.

    1. Don't have any information on where she bought it. Maybe the Left hoped to use this to push background checks even for private sales.

  2. Maybe she didn't buy it. Was it a Daniel Defense rifle like a couple of other mass shooters?

    1. Don't know what brand. ABC News is reporting that the Houston PD did not disclose whether the shooter bought the rifle retail or through a private sale. (https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/texas-church-shooter-bought-rifle-despite-mental-illness-107211040). If she hadn't been taken out so quickly, we'd probably be seeing "close the gun show loophole" or "universal background checks" all over the MSM.
