Subject: Re: Background Checks
You can't keep the guns away from the "crazies" unless you identify the crazies, which requires more than a casual check of criminal history.
Even if 'crazies' are identified in connection with a purchase process, there are stupid friends and relatives willing to put firearms in the hands of another.
17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse' Smith & Wesson M&P 15 was purchased by an 18 yr old friend, Dominick Black. Black got off with a small fine.
Adam Lanza had access to his mother's gun safe. WTF! Adios, Mamacita.
Background checks alone won't prevent a toddler from shooting his teacher and thousands of firearms are stolen every years from homes without secure gun safes.
We're screwed by an extremist partisan SCOTUS that will assure lots of bloody 2A headlines for a long time.
