IMO "Background" checks are an insufficient and inconvenient joke for purchasing guns, they only check for criminal records. Any criminal can get a gun in any city on the damn street market.

Hence mental cases without criminal records can purchase arsenals.

What do we and where do we go from here?

[Enduring Freedom]

law enforcement has 3 lines of defense to pursue from here:

1. the first line of defense is that criminals and others unsuited to gun ownership should be barred from legal possession. better information systems and co-operation among agencies would help;

2. the second line of defense is that if such a person above attempts to bypass gun laws, that should signal a red flag, and invite an automatic visit by law enforcement, i.e. watch list;

3. the third line of defense is to encourage and support the arming of the populace so that there are fewer lambs for the slaughter
