Read about that. Seems there were multiple screw ups and errors made
including confusion as to what police force was responsible for filing
the drug arrest info.

But, had it worked or had been implemented properly, the life of nine
innocent lives may have been spared. That's why a *universal* and
uniform background check system should be considered.

He could simply have chosen to buy a gun from an individual. The results would have been the same. Of course, if universal background checks were in place, even for individual sales... the results, in this case, would have been the same.

Sounds like, at least in this case, the gaps aren't in the buying process, but the governmental process and record keeping. Why am I not surprised. And some want to give them more control.

Or he could have borrowed one from his dad. I'm sure glad Luddite used the word
'may'.
