I have a federal firearms license. I am also a retired police officer. I was a police officer for 27 years. The last 13 years I was a criminal investigator. In my department we were general investigators. We would handle anything that dropped on our desk. We tended to have specialties but they weren't our only case type. I handled everything from petty thefts to homicides. One of my specialties was dealing with people trying to purchase guns when they weren't supposed to.

My jurisdiction had a Bass Pro Shops and a few smaller shops and dealers. I'd get to handle the cases when people who were not supposed to buy guns attempted to do so. Most of these folks had some kind of criminal history. Many of them had mental health issues. The reason those who were deemed mentally deficient were caught is because their diagnosis was reported to the proper authorities. So background checks do work the way they are supposed to but the information has to be passed on.

Better background checks, sadly if guns are made illegal that wont stop the bad guys from getting them. Their already criminals and there is a black market for everything.
