M21,
The sometimes works is actually very rarely works. A few hundred NICS out of millions is not a success, it is pure luck and a huge waste of resources. That means failure.
In the first article all charges have been dropped and it appears that the rifles may have been returned to Yohannes. NICS did not work as Yohannes was able to purchase two rifles.
The second article is a hack job pure and simple. NICS in no way shape or form was any use in that case from anything in the article.
Neither is anything a feel good smoke screen that impinges on people’s freedom at great cost with no benefit.
On2Wheels,
We were getting denied. It takes some work to get through the NICS bureaucracy to the FBI liaison. Then get the FBI to research why denied (background investigations that are in-depth) then clear up the individual purchase. This is always a multi-day ordeal that simply means I and others have missed opportunities to purchase firearms.
For a while on a personal note I was (and still do to a certain extent) have identity/IRS/debt collection problem. Basically someone with the same first, last name and middle initial owes the IRS over 12 million dollars. The IRS kept putting me on their hit list and didn’t believe that I am not 58 years old with a wife and had swindled people in Ft. Meyers Fl. out of millions. I had to get Sen. Hutchinson involved who verified that I could not have been the person in question. Supposedly all Federal, State, and local files were expunged of the mis-id but it keeps popping up.
S/F, FOG
