Does it pave the way for universal background checks?<\/p>\n<p>There are not many people that disagree with the idea of improving the NICS system, at least in theory. The NSSF, the firearms industry trade association, has<a href=\"https:\/\/fixnics.org\/#&amp;panel1-1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"g-jeff-sessions-orders-fbi-atf-review-nics\" title=\"AG Jeff Sessions Orders FBI, ATF to Review NICS\"> said on multiple occasions <\/a>that \u201cA background check is only as good as the records in the database.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea being that if NICS is missing records or if it has incomplete information than there are holes in the system. When there are holes in the system, prohibited persons will be able to purchase firearms from gun shops. Just like we saw in Sutherland Springs, TX.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s close the holes, right? That\u2019s what Sessions and lawmakers are attempting to do right now. What\u2019s going to happen, though, even after NICS is buttoned up?\u00a0 Anti-gunners are going to point out that private citizens can still transfer firearms to one another without a background check. What they\u2019ve dubbed, \u201cthe gun show loophole.\u201d They\u2019re going to say the system is still broken.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/breaking-bipartisan-gun-deal-reached\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"g-jeff-sessions-orders-fbi-atf-review-nics\" title=\"AG Jeff Sessions Orders FBI, ATF to Review NICS\">BREAKING: Bipartisan Gun Deal Reached!<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>What I fear is that by overhauling NICS we are endorsing the idea that the system is the solution.\u00a0 That background checks stop mass killers.\u00a0 The madman in Sutherland Springs did purchase a firearm via an FFL.\u00a0 The Air Force did not submit his domestic abuse records to NICS.\u00a0 But even if the records were submitted and the sale was declined, wouldn&#8217;t he still get his hands on a firearm?<\/p>\n<p>With more than 300 million guns in this country, I think it\u2019s more than likely. Okay, but let\u2019s pretend that he wasn\u2019t able to get a gun. Could he have resorted to other methods to kill those churchgoers? Absolutely. As we\u2019ve seen in Europe, jihadists have no problem murdering a bunch of people with rental trucks.<\/p>\n<p>My point is that in the wake of a tragedy, we get sidetracked with conversations about fixing the system. As if the solution to lone wolf attacks is to improve and expand the system. The problem is that you can\u2019t expand the system without expanding government. In Europe, they&#8217;ve expanded the system to its logical conclusion.\u00a0 To the point where gun rights are virtually non-existent.\u00a0 Yet, those governments still can\u2019t stop spree killers.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s worth asking, what happens when fixing NICS isn\u2019t enough to stop the next crazed gunman? They\u2019re going to say we need to close the gun show loophole. What happens when closing the gun show loophole isn\u2019t enough? They\u2019re going to argue we\u2019ll need registration. What happens when registration isn\u2019t enough? We\u2019ll need\u2026 Well, you get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the gun industry can work with lawmakers and Sessions to Fix NICS without open up this can of worms. I think it\u2019s highly doubtful but we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the FBI and the ATF to conduct a comprehensive review of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":82797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,216],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-82796","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AG Jeff Sessions Orders FBI, ATF to Review NICS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the FBI and the ATF to conduct a comprehensive review of the background check system (NICS).\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/g-jeff-sessions-orders-fbi-atf-review-nics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"AG Jeff Sessions Orders FBI, ATF to Review NICS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the FBI and the ATF to conduct a comprehensive review of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/g-jeff-sessions-orders-fbi-atf-review-nics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-11-24T17:16:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-21T12:21:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/170926-oag-039_scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"899\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
