I copied this from a source you would be more likely to accept.
To me, this is a major reason why I question the appropriateness of the SSA collecting data. Why would they be any more successful than the NCIS system. It would also duplicate something the Feds already do. Why do something twice?

There is too much room for error here. And also corruption, hacking, or whatever.
They should have limitations on the mentally ill getting weapons but it should be very much judge driven and not legislative driven. The judge could look at the records of that individual person. The Colorado movie theater shooter for instance should not have been allowed anywhere near guns.
