Is it any surprise that nearly every mass killer in recent memory passed a background check?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our current system is only as good as the records in it, and right now, those records are laughably incomplete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/whoopi-goldberg-no-reason-anyone-needs-an-automatic-weapon\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mike-rowe-weighs-in-on-call-to-support-gun-control\" title=\"Mike Rowe Weighs in on Call to Support Gun Control\">Whoopi Goldberg: \u2018No Reason Anyone Needs an Automatic Weapon\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Rowe went on to describe in detail many of the problems he has with the existing background system and offered solid suggestions on how to address them. He also suggested that the next time the White House calls for support, that people might do well to share what they really think of gun control.<\/p>\n<p>He also laid out this challenge to other celebs: &#8220;If our elected officials are going to rely on actors and comedians to advance their political agendas, let\u2019s not limit them to 140 characters or a list of pre-approved talking points. Seriously, where\u2019s the fun in that?
