SURE, YOU CAN TRUST THE GOVERNMENT TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE: DOD: Incompetence Led Air Force Not to Share Shooter’s Criminal Records With FBI: ‘The failures had drastic consequences and should not have occurred.’ “The investigators found the same mistakes were repeated over and over again by agents from the Air Force’s military justice system. At each point where procedure and policy required agents to report the shooter’s records to the FBI for inclusion in the background check system, the agents failed to do so. When the investigators asked why the mistakes were made, the agents told them they didn’t understand they were required to submit the records to the FBI. . . . When they looked into how the mistakes made it past supervisors, the investigators found that supervisors certified the results of the criminal process against the shooter without actually reviewing them.”
