There have been many cases where felonious shooters were found to have been able to obtain guns because they passed a background check and should not have. It appears that the Justice Department under Loretta Lynch issued orders to the effect that only perpetrators who had committed crimes while crossing state lines could be included on the federal list of persons prohibited from buying or owning guns. So, a whole lot of names were dropped from the list.
And they want to blame us... law abiding citizens... for the resulting gun violence?
Attorney General Jeff Sessions now wants to investigate the background check system and see how it can be improved. I'm all for getting the names of those who are too much of a danger to society deemed onto the Federal list. And, I'm all for making the program more effective and stronger. I can't speak for the NRA, but I suspect they feel the same way.
But, we have to be careful about this. We have to be able to find an expeditious method for a person to have his/her name removed from the list if it got onto the list by mistake. That's my only caveat.
