Universal Background Checks Don't Work,
so Why Do We Want More of Them?

I’ve made mistakes before and I’ll probably make some again. That is why it’s important to be aware and skeptical as we try new ideas. There is a time for persistence and a time to ask if you’re headed in the right direction. All that came to mind as I read about the US House of Representatives proposing universal background checks for firearms owners. These background checks have failed too many times to try them again.
The fundamental failure of a background check is that it looks backward. Mass murder is not a long-term career path. Background checks can’t stop a first-time mass murderer. Here are the most recent examples.

The NICS system is broken - in fact it was never whole. If an individual finds a check bars them from a firearm purchase, where is their recourse to due process to find out why, when in fact they can have suffered a false result for some reason. Far better to have a system whereby dealers can simply consult a 'bad guy list' when dealing with a sale.
