Curtis Wade Holley, who police identify as the arsonist/murderer who
took the life of Leon County Sheriff deputy Chris Smith this week in
Florida, was known to police. He was in the system for issuing previous
threats and being “antigovernment.”
Was Holley a legal gun owner whose weapons were not scrutinized as he
became dangerous? Did he buy his murder weapons from a legal gun dealer
after his threats became known–thanks to huge holes in the
NICS background check system? Did Holley buy his weapons in the many
background check-free sales ops the NRA defends? Hey, shady people have gun rights!
However Holley procured his weapon, we have the NRA to thank for the
death of another law enforcement officer. The NRA blocks a registry,
universal background checks, mandatory reporting of lost guns, bans on
high capacity magazines, retention of owner data beyond 24 hours,
illegal trafficking legislation and more. The NRA even works to restore
the “gun rights” of convicted felons, people under orders of protection
and people with severe mental illness. Sales are $ales.
