Nircs System News Today

Instant background check done by the dealer at the point of sale. nra supported it, nra got the votes and nra got it passed. we demanded an honest system that was supposed to make sure good people can purchase firearms as quickly as possible, a system that catches violent felons, the ad jaud indicated mentally incompetent and dangerous and every other prohibited person right at the point of sale. where they would be prosecuted for a federal felony. but they arent. what is happened instead is one...

Wound up with the system we had today. at the time the bill was passed the technology didnt exist to do an instant background check. it wasnt implemented until the late 90s. the debate we had after newtown around background checks was to fix the loopholes that that compromise created. so i think what you were seeing here -- go ahead, halle. >> i was just going to hop off that point because the nra came out in 2013 and opposed a bipartisan bill that would have required background checks for priva...

For years and ive been ignored by the same opportunists who dont give a damn yet you see them on tv every day wining away. heres what i said on cbs way back in 1993. that was 25 years ago. >> let me ask you this, are you in favor of computerizing the mental health records of people into a national computer -- >> you bet i am. >> can we join hands on that and go to capitol hill -- >> we sure can -- >> now heres the real tragedy, charles schumer shook my hand to get all the mental health records i...

A difference, the media would lead every newscast with a reminder that the names of millions of violent felons, criminal gang-bangers and ad jaud indicated dangerous people are missing from the background check system. but no one gets ratings by telling the truth about how to stop mass killers. so they dont report that 38 states submit less than 80% of their felony convictions to the system. leaving more than 7 million felony convictions in the dark. they dont tell you the truth. instead, the on...

It. demand what works. put armed security in every school. fix the broken mental health system. enforce the federal gun laws against every criminal thug on the street. prosecute dangerous people had they show up to buy a gun and for god sake, put every prohibited person into the system. thats what common sense gun laws look like.

To hear in the mainstream media. i would like to be cleared we played this on msnbc. so if you were watching this you heard this. he said that the national rifle association was instrumental in creating the nircs system. its an instant background check. i want to take you back in time to when this was all unfolding. it was the early 90s and you work every day in the brady briefing room. that was a man who worked for the president, president reagan and who was shot and killed and we ended up with...

System. not if some of these whining for television politicians and their media enables have their way. [ applause ] >> instead, what theyll do is theyll keep coming after the nra and when another monster slips through the cracks, the very cracks that theyve enabled in the system as the records of prohibited persons remain out of the database, itll happen again. but heres something we must be careful of as we go forward. we all have to be careful that this doesnt become a runaway train. what if ...
