What an incredible ass. Luckily for him he doesn’t have to stand for actual elections.
Hasan was a MAJOR in the ARMY!
Even if gun sales were illegal in TX, he was weeks away from deployment when the Army was going to issue him a weapon. At that point, just add ammo and start shooting.
As a Major, he probably could have finagled he was to sign his weapon out of the armory – claiming he needed to pre-deployment zero and qual at the range. The armorers would probably cut a Major some slack and sign it out to him. That kind of thing will get you in big trouble – if you aren’t shooting a bunch of people anyhow.
