Need for Background Checks

The grandfather of a man who spent three tours in the military fighting Islamic terrorists,  and came home in good shape, who died from a gunshot fired by somebody he didn't know after coming home, is now saying that's “evidence of a need for background checks.” as if that would have stopped his grandson from becoming the victim of a fool with a gun. That fool probably PASSED a background check when he bought his gun and maybe because he hadn't yet demonstrated his lack of good sense before (IF he bought it legally—did anybody check?). Most “mass shooters” passed background checks because they hadn't previously shown their predilection for violence or they got them illegally. Others passed them due to the INCOMPETENCE of the people giving them. Like that fool at Ft. Hood, who made no secret of his wish to kill people, but nobody noticed. (News 3)
