Hasan Chokr threatened children and their parents at a daycare center at a Jewish synagogue in Dearborn Michagan. This happened in 2022. After threatening people at the synagogue and spewing antisemitic slurs, he went to a gun shop and handled several weapons. He decided to buy a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol but a background check blocked the purchase. Chokr had been convicted of theft in 2017 and had a pending assault charge against him. He was out on bail.
Chokr has now been sentenced to 34 months in prison on Federal charges.
This is one case where background checks worked, they did what they are supposed to do. I do wish the sentence had been longer.
