4. I don't understand why it is "scary"

A huge majority of recent "high profile murders, and mass shooters" all passed the background check with flying colors...

The only one I can think of off hand that didn't was the Sandy Hook Shooter, and he stole his guns right before.

I used to view background checks as important, I don't anymore, it is hard to ignore the reality of their pure ineffectiveness, in stopping someone who is above all else, determined to kill.
