SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP/WTXF) -- A County Commissioner in Texas says he's been told that more than 20 people
were killed and more than 20 were wounded in an attack at a church, though he says those figures haven't been confirmed.
 
Albert Gamez, a Wilson County commissioner, made the comments to cable news outlets after the attack Sunday at a Baptist
church in Sutherland Springs, a small community 30 miles southeast of San Antonio.

It was not immediately clear if the church was holding services at the time of the shooting or who carried out the attack.

Wow that's a lot of people.  Gotta be a terrorist or insane person to do that in a church.  Could be copycats that see this stuff on TV and figure they can do the same.  Surprised  there's no mention of a CCW getting involved.

Now it comes out the shooter was in the AF, court martialed, and dishonorably discharged.

Sounds like a good candidate to watch for usefulness to the gun control cause.  Disgruntled with probably more than a few mental issues and resentments.

Push the right buttons, and Shazaam!  Another gun control bonanza.

Criminal with a gun then.

dishonorable discharge is based on a general court-martial conviction. This means the conviction is a felony, regardless of what the underlying offense may have been. The convicted felon is banned from possessing a firearm

Prohibited persons

It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person—
(1) is under indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
(2) is a fugitive from justice;
(3) is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802));
(4) has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution;
(5) who, being an alien— (A) is illegally or unlawfully in the United States; or (B) except as provided in subsection (y)(2), has been admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(26) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 (a)(26)));
(6) who [2] has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions;
(7) who, having been a citizen of the United States, has renounced his citizenship;
(8 ) is subject to a court order that restrains such person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of such person or child of such intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child, except that this paragraph shall only apply to a court order that— (A) was issued after a hearing of which such person received actual notice, and at which such person had the opportunity to participate; and (B) (i) includes a finding that such person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury; or (9) has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

According to the Gun Control Act of 1968:

So, while it's assumed the DD is related to a felony-level verdict, the discharge all by itself specifically prohibits possession of a firearm.

Thats what i said,

Sort of.  Not nitpicking.  You were implying by virtue of him being convicted of a felony related to the court martial, he would be prohibited.  That point is tangential as anyone dishonorably discharged for any charge is prohibited specifically by the GCA.

No what I said is a DD is a felony, even if the crime that causes the DD is not actually a felony.

You are not picking and getting it wrong. Go troll someone else.
