Sounds like one more thing the Feds can’t do correctly......
Why is it all gun owner’s fault when the government screws up? (rhetorical question).
***It’s not clear why he repeatedly passed federal background checks ***
Ask why PAT PURDY, released from a California Mental institution for the 7the time, passed California’s background checks and waiting periods before shooting up the Stockton School yard! Calidornia’s assault weapon act was quickly pulled out of being shelved and passed before any opposition could be mounted against it.
Or... Or... If your tin hat is properly adjusted... One could think that maybe, just maybe, the FBI might have wanted him to have those guns.
And we know this HOW exactly?
Why, it was on some guy's blog after all.
Yeah. Making stuff up is good blogging.
How about we give it a day or two?
This isn't Las Vegas.
If people can lie about background checks, they can probably lie with regards to gun ownership under gun control too. My paranoid side says the government let this person pass to give the message that the only way to solve crime is to ban guns outright.
...Since Roof passed a background check, that argument did not make much sense...
Most lunatic liberal arguments are in that same category. They make no sense. They are usually made for control of the individual and most are based on raw emotion.
I worked with a guy who worked on database integration for LE. Lets just say Hollywood is far ahead of reality when it comes to the one database to rule them all.
There are numerous technical and legal challenges in all of these issues. Its much easier to hack into many systems than it is to gain legal access. States actually tend to be much better (or worse depending on viewpoint) than the Feds in many regards.
Because Obama was worried about keeping guns from veterans who had trouble balancing their check books and not veterans who beat the crap out of their spouses and children get thrown in jail and get an OTH discharge.
Yeah... we know that’s not infallible now, and neither are outright bans.
It’s like the adage about what the most dangerous part of a car is. It’s the nut behind the wheel.
I am a spiritual nut myself, and would certainly caution against sweeping moves based on infrequent incidents. What does this need to do to the overall social balance around laws pertaining to firearms? It might need to do nothing. Churches might stand to get more guards, however. The bouncer is a valid church ministry. Even those, however, being prepared with a mixture of measures, to be able to exercise deadly force (as a secular citizen under the 2nd Amendment) and yet as a Christian seek to forego it if something else to subdue an attack is yet possible. Since Christian faith may call for martyrdom in the attempt to save an enemy, any approach that rules this possibility out will be less than Christian.
According to Gov Abbott (R-Tx) that’s not true ... he was NOT eligible for nor approved to purchase any weapons. He was dishonorably discharged from the USAF after a court martial. IIRC, that’s an automatic disqualification. Shall we not jump right onto whatever story is published>
so the story has changed again. He was dishonorably discharged when I went to bed this morning. He was still barred due to the domestic violence conviction however thanks to the Lautenburg amendment so this remains the fault of the FBI.
At least the guy bought from a brick and mortar store. Imagine what the lame stream media would be saying if he had bought it in a private party transaction?
What about the question that is not asked or answered?
How many times in a year have people who should not own a gun answered this questionnaire and have been rejected. The times where this system worked are never talked about. It would be nice to know. Obviously it did not work in this case but I do wonder.
Not just the Government-the FBI and not just the FBI for that matter. It was James’ Comey’s and Barack Obama’s FBI.
Can a common citizen access FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), or is it only for firearms vendors?.................
