No Consequences

It’s a fact. If a criminal applies for a background check and lies to obtain it, there’s no penalty applicable. They can apply as many times as they want, hoping for an overworked, underpaid bureaucrat misses something and they get approved. When it is found they lied, their application is just rejected. They aren’t punished for lying on their application. Of course, this means nothing to the real criminals, who buy their guns illegally, or just steal them. Anti-gun laws only apply to people who actually buy their guns legally and have to pass a background check. What those fools who write stories about “gun crime” never talk about is whether or not the gun used was obtained legally. It is always assumed it was obtained legally, and their myriad anti-gun laws will somehow stop a criminal from getting a gun. They will not. A criminal always knows where to get a gun illegally, and he usually does. I say “he” because just about all criminals involved in “gun crime” are men. If that’s sexist, tough. Then we talk about the laws already on the books to add time to prison sentences for using a gun to commit the crime. They are usually “bartered away” to get confessions to other crimes. We need to start enforcing them. (Daily Caller)
