In another article, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2011\/01\/11\/AR2011011102928.html?hpid=topnews\">Washington Post <\/a>&#8220;reporters&#8221; disregard the fact that Pima County Law Enforcement did their best to keep Jared Luchner&#8217;s name out of any data base of criminals;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In recent years, Loughner has had run-ins with the police and military over alleged drug use, and gun-control activists said that the federal government isn&#8217;t doing enough to prevent drug abusers from getting firearms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The law says that drug abusers can&#8217;t buy guns,&#8221; said New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who also co-founded a gun-control organization of mayors. &#8220;Even though Jared Loughner was rejected by the military for drug use and arrested on drug charges, he was able to pass a background check and buy a gun.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I did a criminal background check on Lochner Sunday and found one dropped unspecified charge from a neighboring county and a ticket for running a stop sign in Tucson. Nothing about the threats he&#8217;s supposedly phoned in around the county. The problem isn&#8217;t with the gun laws or background checks, it&#8217;s with the people who are supposed to be entering this information into the system so they can&#8217;t buy guns. The people who should be prosecuting offenders.<\/p>\n<p>The Post continues;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Loughner bought the shotgun within a year of his rejection for enlistment in the U.S. Army and within a year of his arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court records and military sources. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The implication, of course, is that the military should have alerted local police&#8230;but the local police are already aware of his drug use&#8230;what would have changed? Well, besides the ACLU crawling up the Army&#8217;s ass for releasing private information.<\/p>\n<p>The solution would be that the police be forced to arrest everyone who breaks the law all of the time. Good luck with that one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With this header on their front page of their webite, the Washington Post has clearly decided &hellip; <a title=\"Not the shooter&#8217;s fault\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=21813\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Not the shooter&#8217;s fault<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21813\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
