EXPOSED: FBI FAILS on 1 MILLION background checks... Underbelly of Gun Control is showing...

Published on July 9, 2022
Duration: 7:37

This video critically examines the FBI's failure to complete over 1 million gun background checks between 2020 and 2021, highlighting how this bureaucratic backlog potentially allowed ineligible individuals to acquire firearms. The speaker argues that instead of addressing existing system failures, gun control advocates push for more restrictive laws, shifting the onus onto legal gun owners. The analysis points to a significant percentage of delayed checks resulting in firearms being sold before eligibility could be confirmed, necessitating ATF retrieval operations.

Quick Summary

The FBI failed to complete over 1.2 million gun background checks between 2020 and 2021, with 4.2% taking longer than three business days. Federal law allows sales after three days if checks are pending, potentially enabling ineligible individuals to acquire firearms before their status is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many gun background checks did the FBI fail to complete in 2020-2021?

The FBI failed to complete over 1.2 million gun background checks between 2020 and 2021. This represents 4.2% of all checks initiated during that period, a rate higher than in previous years.

What is the legal implication of a delayed background check for firearm sales?

Federal law allows licensed dealers to sell firearms after three business days if a background check is still pending. While intended to prevent delays, this can potentially allow ineligible individuals to acquire guns before their status is fully determined.

What happened to firearms sold during delayed background checks?

In cases where delayed background checks were eventually completed and found the buyer ineligible, the ATF had to retrieve the firearms. This highlights a failure in the initial screening process, necessitating post-sale intervention.

Why does the speaker criticize gun control advocates?

The speaker criticizes gun control advocates for pushing for more restrictive laws without addressing the FBI's failure to properly execute existing background check systems. The argument is that the focus should be on fixing current bureaucratic inefficiencies.
