He makes all legitimate firearms dealers look like negligent morons.
The murderer was not in legal possession of those firearms. He committed fraud and the system gave him a pass.
And now officeholders are calling for the rights of law-abiding citizens to be infringed, when they failed to enforce existing statutes.
Just curious how the firearms dealer erred. If he did a background check and there was no record on the guy then there’s nothing else for him to do.
Are you saying there was something in the guys record the dealer ignored or that he failed to do a background check?
It's not the dealer's fault it's the Fed's fault.
The same liberal pukes who want to take away our guns are the ones defending the rights of the criminally insane to not be profiled or have their information in any data base.
It wasn't the dealer's fault....it was the State of VA's fault. The dealer ran the required background check and got the okay to sell Cho the gun! The state of VA and the Feds (NICS) dropped the ball.
Obviously someone dropped the ball and it wasn’t the arms dealer. Somebody is responsible for putting information in the data base, that obviously didn’t happen. How do you blame the gun dealer, he followed the rules, the info wasn’t there.
The dealer's background check is only as good as the background material he's been given to use to perform that check. He had to assume the information in it was good. If a commercial aircraft suffers some major in-flight failure, even after the plane passed pre-flight checks, is it the pilot's fault when the plane crashes and kills everyone aboard?
Other than voluntary disclosure of mental illness by the applicant himself, how would the gun dealer determine whether the guy is a nut job? I would think that the dealer's knowledge is only as good as the information in the database used for the background check, which probably does not contain psychiatric and mental health information particularly in view of HIIPA.
