Justice System Shorts part Deux
The FBI has issued record numbers of seizure notices to take guns from folks who should have failed background checks but were allowed to purchase guns when the FBI failed to respond in three days to the checks. 6,300 in 2020, 5,200 in 2021 – with the article subtext that the rate is skyrocketing. It’s worth noting that the number of checks also skyrocketed, 39,000,000 in 2020 alone. (For comparison, the previous high was 5,056 in 2000. so a 24% increase in 20 years. Not sure a bit over 1% a year increase is a spike when the number of background checks total rose from 8.5 million to 39 million!)
While the numbers accounted for a small percentage of the 8.5 million transactions vetted by the NICS system that year, the FBI described the potential “public safety risk” in stark detail at that time.
The 2000 annual NICS’ operations report recounted an incident in which a Cleveland-area dealer proceeded with a gun sale to a gang member when the required background investigation was not completed within the three-day period.
When the Biden administration talks about closing the “background check loophole”, this is what they are talking about. Hey, if they actively trying to take back guns which shouldn’t have been delivered in the first place, I guess that’s good.

More on the gunz subject: Reuters reports that the DOJ is pushing for tougher sentences for “straw purchasers” .
Gary Restaino, the top federal prosecutor in Arizona, told a bipartisan panel in Washington, D.C., that increasing penalties for straw purchasers – people who buy guns for individuals barred from owning them or for those who do not want to be tracked – would “reflect the danger their conduct poses to public safety.”
The U.S. Sentencing Commission is obliged to increase sentences for those defendants under a provision of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the major gun safety measure that President Joe Biden signed into law in June.
The bill came together just weeks after two mass shootings, one in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children at an elementary school and another racist attack targeting Black people in Buffalo, New York, that killed 10.
Anyone hear of a straw purchaser involved in either of those shootings? Buehler? Buehler?
He argued that under the commission’s proposal, straw purchasers, who by definition have no previous criminal history, would often face a sentencing range that on the low end was just one month longer than they could get under current policy.
But Leslie Scott, an attorney with the Federal Public and Community Defenders’ Sentencing Resource Counsel project, urged the commission to “take a pause” and conduct further study before implementing changes that could exacerbate racial disparities in sentencing.
She added rushed changes to the guidelines would disproportionately impact Black communities. The commission in a report last year found that more than half of people sentenced in 2021 under the main firearms sentencing guideline were Black.
So the tougher penalties would be another 30 days… wow. That’ll discourage ’em. I love the last paragraph, but will withhold comment. It speaks for itself.

Gee. If they say no, nothing happens. If they don’t say no, then they get to go raid a criminal and sieze a weapon.
Nah. Nothing sketchy there.
The Uvalade shooter asked his sister to buy him a gun before the event, when he was too young and she refused. Probably because before the event his nickname was “School Shooter”. He was also a heavy marijuana smoker. This detail was removed in the NYT mega article about the incident and is missing from the Wikipedia page.
He bought his own gun. Note that you aren’t allowed to purchase firearms if you are a drug user, it is right on the form.
This is part of the sterilization technique that the leftist media uses to pretend that drugs aren’t a problem. Here they are pretending that Marijuana is harmless and that Foz is crazy for thinking it isn’t:

The Buffalo shooter was locked up in the booby hatch for evaluation after telling a teacher that he wanted to “murder and commit suicide”. Also noteworthy is that he used to wear a hazmat suit to class.
He bought his own AR15 and modified it to take removable magazines (note NY at the time required a fixed magazine in ARs). He then posted on line about his plans for the attack, asking for advice from numerous people including a retired federal agent. He warmed up by torturing a cat to death.
The shooter was a straight up racially motivated, psychotic, classic serial killer. He intended to escape and keep killing.
Real talk, how many of our American Brothers and Sisters that were effected by this where active criminals, other than the conjured-up farce-crime of government incompetence (redundant AF)?
I’m tired of the system abusing the good people of this land and I do say it’s only a matter of time before the dotgov accidentallys into another mismanaged tactical situation.
God help them.
‘A Right delayed…’ & ‘…shall not be infringed’.
What the act actually did was:
Allow the Federales to use wire taps on suspected straw purchasersSeize property from straw purchasersExtends the time for a forced sale from three to ten days for a subject 18-21 that buys a firearm to check juvenile records that may have been sealed. (note this also had nothing to do with the above shootings)Prohibits the use of Federal Monies for school programs of rifle, archery and fencing teams. (no school shooter has actually been on any of those teams)Gives pork barrel money and grants to people in mental health, state courts and education

What about folks who falsify their 4473, why not prosecute them.
Buehler, Biden,???
I’m Huntering for the answer.
Just Biden time.
“She added rushed changes to the guidelines would disproportionately impact Black communities.”
No, it’s not the guidelines; it’s the assclown bangers that fuck up the black communities, and the failure to take care of that problem that disproportionately impacts them. It’s the disproportionate number of young black men who are responsible for crimes far above their numbers in the general population that are having the impact on black communities. It’s not the system putting them behind bars; they’re doing that for themselves.
And it makes me sick.
Testify! Roughly 3% of the population is committing well north of 50% of the crime. I see dozens of those stories everyday while while on the Hunt-er on FGS. If we were to start a thread on crime, we’d need a whole new Blog.
ps…Nice Brunette Gunz Girl there, Davy “I get to choose”. You chose well.
Someday I will throw in a blonde just to mess with you.
Will the carpet match the drapes or does only the OB/GYN know for sure?
The “background check loophole” the Biden regime refers to is not the FBI failures. They are talking about the private sales that occur in most states without the check with the FBI’s data base.
