You Can’t “Check” People with No Known Background

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Another day, another mass casualty shooting. Inevitably, federal legislators will redouble efforts to give the appearance of “doing something” to stop such violence. One idea under consideration is “universal” background checks.

There’s a significant problem that arises from what is, arguably, the most enduring impact of Team Biden’s wrecking operation: namely, the two million-plus illegal aliens it has let into this country that now live in neighborhoods like yours all across it.

Most of them are unaccompanied, military-age males. And, like the vast majority of such uninvited immigrants, we have no idea who they are. You can’t conduct a background check on someone with an unknown background.

So, “universal” – as with the rule of law more generally these days – means only some will have to obey legal restrictions. Unequal justice is a formula for the destruction of what’s left of our constitutional Republic.
