Here is a good example why background checks do not work

Recently Ammon Bundy went into a gun store in Emmett, Idaho and was denied the right to purchase a handgun on Saturday, August 31st.  He was cleared of all federal charges dealing with the Malheur refuge standoff on January 2016 that killed his father and charges were dropped in the Nevada due to mistrail.  They forgot to remove him from the database.  Legally he should been able to purchase a handgun.  This is why background checks do not work because of mistakes like this.  Background checks do not save lives and they do not prevent crime.  Mr Bundy should be a purchase any handgun he chooses to protect his family.  Please call your congress tell you support background checks you go bye bye.
