to throw out background check records instead of keeping them on file. one of the things they did to make the background check process as weak as possible is they created a rule, a binding federal rule, that says if the background check process isn't complete after three days, the person just gets the gun. it defaults to yes, you can have the gun, if three days pass before the background check can be completed. in the case of the shooter who shot 10 parishioners, the background check wasn't done three days. legally he shouldn't have been able to buy the gun, but they had a wrong number from people who did the arrest. they weren't getting calls back, three days went by, three days expired. he got his gun. and then he killed all those beautiful people in that
