A recent report in NEWSMAX MAGAZINE reveals that federal prosecutions against those who have lied on their gun-purchase background forms have plummeted under the Obama administration. During an eight-year period of 2008-2015, only 254 fraudulent statements were even considered for prosecution. That lackadaisical effort by the feds probably explains why we see thugs go on rampages who should have failed a background check. In fact, the study shows at least 59 people got their guns when they should have been denied.
The U.S. Attorney's Office sees no problem with the low prosecution rate and has no plans to make any changes... unless, of course, they can find a way to add more restrictive gun laws to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.
