This video from Guns & Gadgets discusses significant failures in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), as reported by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). It highlights that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not consistently comply with NICS requirements, leading to millions of missing disposition records. The OIG audit found that components like U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had a high number of missing dispositions, and DHS components were often slow or unresponsive to FBI NICS inquiries. The video suggests these systemic government failures can have severe consequences, referencing a past shooting incident linked to reporting errors.
