The Huffington Post<\/a> reports that New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco are joining in a lawsuit against the Pentagon charging that the Department of Defense was negligent in their failure to report service members’ crimes to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.<\/p>\n

Together, the cities will \u201cstand up to the Department of Defense and demand they comply with the law and repair their drastically flawed system,\u201d New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement. \u201cThis failure on behalf of the Department of Defense has led to the loss of innocent lives by putting guns in the hands of criminals and those who wish to cause immeasurable harm.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, it’s all based on one case in Texas where Devin Patrick Kelley was able to purchase firearms because the Air Force didn’t report him to the NICS system when he stood a court martial for domestic abuse. That case didn’t affect any of those three cities, but, of course, they have to appear to be doing “something, anything” for their constituents. Even if that “something, anything”, doesn’t do anything at all.<\/p>\n

While I agree that the DoD needs to come into compliance with the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007<\/a>, it’s pretty childish of the leadership of those three cities to blame their gun control problems on something that doesn’t affect them.<\/p>\n

For example, San Francisco’s sanctuary city status has killed more people in that city than the DoD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
