Background Checks Don't Work

Aurora shooter opened fire at termination meeting; one victim was HR intern on first day

So a guy in Illinois with an out of state felony conviction and at least eight local arrests in his criminal history, including one for domestic violence, manages to pass the background check to get a FOID card and the NICS check to purchase a handgun. They discover the aforementioned incidents when he attempted to get a concealed carry permit. they revoked his license, told him to return the firearm, and when he didn't did nothing. Yesterday, he killed five people at his place of employment when he was fired. Who's fault is that? Not the NRA. Not gun owners. I'd go as far as to say not even the State of Illinois because if a State as anti-gun as Illinois can't make their anti-gun polices work, no one can. Background checks don't work. Depending on them to save lives instead of good people with guns is just plain stupid.
