TX Republican Senator John Cornyn Pushing Moar Gun Control!

He is drafting a bill aimed at “[reminding] government agencies of their duty to provide information to the background check system.”

Wat?

Wouldn't court martials of folks responsible accomplish the same thing? Also, I gotta think the services are scouring their records right now to compare servicemembers convicted of crimes leading to PP status and NICS crosschecking are in progress right now anyway.

More grandstanding. They know no other way.

Court-Martial/NJP (or more likely a reprimand, which will kill promotions and lead to retirement) is all well and good for the USAF, but there's the little problem of his involuntary commitment in NM that ALSO didn't show up on the fbi check :-/

Of course, such a "reminder" (insert eye roll here) by Cornyn amounts to less than a cup of piss for any context except fedgov.
