I just read this<\/a>, which I saw in the HotAir Headlines. First off, like the Brady Campaign before him, Bloomberg tries to use the Fort Hood shooting to illustrate some point about gun control.<\/p>\n

During the Clinton administration, the FBI had access to records of gun background checks for up to 180 days. But in 2003, Congress began requiring that the records be destroyed within 24 hours. This requirement, one of the many restrictions on gun data sponsored by Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), meant that Hasan’s investigators were blocked from searching records to determine whether he or other terrorist suspects had purchased guns. When Hasan walked out of Guns Galore in Killeen, Tex., the FBI had only 24 hours to recognize and flag the record — and then it was gone, forever. <\/p>\n

As former FBI agent Brad Garrett has said, “The piece of information about the gun could have been critical. One of the problems is that the law sometimes restricts you in what you can do.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? The knowledge about the gun would be critical? They were about to send him overseas to serve in the military, I think you are safe assuming that if he didn’t have a gun then, that he shortly would have one.<\/p>\n

Under no circumstances would this proposed law change have had any impact at all. Not one iota. You want to limit the number of deaths in an event like this? How about letting the troops carry their personally owned firearms. Pretty sure that would have limited it.<\/p>\n

The Brady Campaign would have us believe that Psychiatrists having the ability to ban Veterans from getting firearms would have prevented this, and Bloomberg believes that had the FBI known that Hasan had a firearm that they would have moved on him. Neither of those positions makes even the slightest bit of sense, but that is what I have come to expect from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
