I keep wondering about that myself. Denied in the NICS process, it's either a false-positive or prohibited possessor. I read public intoxication in 2014, and the NICS denial was "mental health issue".
They keep screaming PRIVATE SALE!!! but my money is on since there wasn't a 4473 for the transfer to the dirtbag murderer that's an assumption. Stolen? The trail must have gone cold on the weapon and FFLs.
A law enforcement official says the gunman who killed seven people in Texas has failed a background check in 2014 because of a “mental health issue.”
The official tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that Seth Ator had attempted to purchase a firearm in 2014 but was denied after a federal background check.
The official said Ator was able to obtain the rifle used in SaturdayÂ’s rampage in West Texas through a private gun sale, skirting the background check process.

...after he was banned from having a firearm because he was diagnosed with a mental illness, media reported."
And then there is this missed opportunity...https://nypost.com/2019/09/01/texas-mass-shooter-threatened-neighbor-shot-animals-from-roof-report/ ..."She said cops tried to confront Ator following her report to them last month, but his property didn’t show up on GPS and was difficult to find." Like "she" the neighbor couldn't point out where he lived??? Doesn't sound like they tried very hard.
Well, if mental health issues were reported and that resulted in the NICS rejection, then "the system" worked as intended. But, they can't really confirm mental health issues because of privacy laws.
In this narrow segment of situations involving non-crime related NICS rejections, the private sales loophole is actually a loophole. If we all agree that there are certain people who are so crazy that they shouldn't have guns, then private sales are a way for them to circumvent those gun laws.
In Indiana, when we do private sales, an unwritten "rule" we often follow to avoid selling to a felon is to ask to see the LTCH along with the driver's license. What's the likelihood this mentally handicapped active shooter could have gotten a Texas license to carry?

So from that article im gonna have to guess it was built on a 80% lower for it to be illegal to sell?
OR, he was buying parts kits and 100% completed receivers and building them into rifles
... Almost as if there's an agenda being pushed...
