guns

[Danzig]

so, obama had a speech today, and one of the things he said he was doing was:

'the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) will issue guidelines intended to narrow exceptions to a system that requires sellers to check with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine whether buyers have criminal records, are charged with crimes or have mental health conditions that would bar them from owning a gun.'

but here's a problem. after sandy hook, one of the things in the bill that failed was an increase in funding to states, to help their b/g check systems. a background check is only as good as the info put in. several of the more recent shooters should not have been cleared to buy, but were cleared because their info wasn't all in there to flag their purchase.
one had crimes he'd been charged with that didn't show up, others have had domestic violence issues, or mental health issues, but they didn't appear.
