Boulder Gunman Passed Background Check, Acquired Firearm at Retail Outlet

 Alleged Boulder gunman Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa passed a background check for his AR-15 variant firearm and purchased it at retail.

In other words, he complied with the very gun control the left assures us will make our country safe.

Breitbart News reported that Alissa opened fire in a Boulder grocery store Monday, killing ten people, including officer Eric Talley, a 10-year veteran of the Boulder Police Department.

Democrat calls for background check gun control were near-immediate, including President Biden’s call for H.R. 8–universal background check legislation–to be passed by the Senate.

Breitbart News pointed out that Colorado already has universal background checks, and has had them since 2013. In other words, every gun sale in Colorado, retail or private, requires a background check to be performed.

On Friday, Reuters explained that Alissa bought a Ruger AR-15 variant six days before carrying out the attack.

Moreover, “The store where Alissa bought the Ruger said the suspect passed a background check before making the purchase legally.”

This means the alleged Boulder attacker is only the latest of high profile shooter to acquire his gun by cooperating with the left’s go-to gun controls.

Here are other attackers who acquired their guns via background checks:
