    I hope Senator Graham’s people took copious notes.

    What they ought to be going after is making the NICS system work correctly.

      The NICS system, is only as good as the information, that is put into it. We have many States that refuse to list involuntary commitments, in the check, claiming HIPPA laws. You also have to factor in human error, by FFL dealers, and military branches, reporting Bad Conduct, and dishonorable discharges to NICS, which wasn’t done with the Sutherland Springs, Texas mass murderer. Nothing is foolproof.
