Background checked stopped a Pa man from buying an AR.

So my answers to that form are going to fill in those gaps?

Yeah I kind of agree with AlBeight’s thinking here… no prohibited person who is trying to buy a gun is going to check the box saying they are a prohibited person. If the background check doesn’t catch it it might as well not exist for the purposes of the transaction…. Why bother asking people when the bad ones you are worried about will just lie

Some of the questions actually give the applicant a heads up that they are prohibited. Some of the questions are nonsense.

We have some clearly mentally unhinged people passing background checks and misusing the guns they buy. That's a huge problem and I have no idea how to fix it, other than trying to identify these loons early. But how do we do that?

There is a fix for those worried about their safety, by a gun.
