US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered a review of government data on security screening for those who want to buy a weapon, against the backdrop of the killing of an armed man for 26 people in a church in Texas.
The Patrick Kelly Devine, who opened fire inside the church in Texas had escaped from a mental institution in 2012, and threatened to kill military superiors during his service in the US Air Force, but his name was not included in case the owners of record.
The US Attorney General stated on 5 November that the National Register of Offenders did not provide information on Kelly.
The FBI and the Anti-Drug Administration have launched a qualitative assessment of the national record of the perpetrators and a report that would help prevent violators from acquiring weapons, Seachenes said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement added that Sessions asked these agencies to verify whether the Ministry of Defense and other government agencies were providing information on legal irregularities to the National Crime Register.
The US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee has confirmed in previous statements that it will investigate the failure of the Air Force to provide information to the FBI about Kelly's crimes.
