I suppose in your simplistic way, you're trying to say that background checks don't work. I tend to agree that it's too small a band aid for the ammosexual's fixation on assault weapons.
New Zealand got it exactly right and we should follow their lead.
Texas mass shooting averted: Police able to find man after background checks delayed his plans
One of the favorite talking points of the militia movement and, by extension, of do-nothing Republican politicians is that tightening background checks for people looking to buy guns would be useless. It wouldn't really save lives, they say.
Yet another new case out of Texas once again disproves that. Local NBC news reporter Merideth Yeomans writes that a 27-year-old Fort Worth man was, according to his own father, who called police, planning to execute a mass shooting in the style of the recent Odessa attack. He withdrew hundreds of dollars from his account and began making the rounds of local gun stores.
But there was a problem: He failed the required background checks, so the gun stores couldn’t sell to him. The man then tried to purchase a gun in a private sale, but by that point the Fort Worth Police Department’s crisis team was able to track him down.
