RUSH: Just a little observation here on the Texas church massacre. You know, folks, every time one of these things happens, the left starts caterwauling about needing more laws and more restrictions<\/a>, and we need to take away people\u2019s rights to guns. You know what? I made an observation not long ago, and I\u2019ll repeat it right here.<\/p>\n

\"\"You have these numskulls on the left who are running around claiming that Trump is a fascist, that Trump is a dictator in the making, that Trump is a totalitarian, that Trump is intolerant, that Trump doesn\u2019t know proper pronouns to use, whether you\u2019re cisgender, transgender, backwards gender, downwards gender, whatever. And they\u2019re up there and they\u2019re painting this picture of Trump, that he\u2019s gonna come in and put you in jail if he doesn\u2019t like you. And yet these people want to get rid of everybody\u2019s guns!<\/p>\n

If they really think Trump is this totalitarian figure, then what sense does it make to take away one of your first lines of defense? And then you got to stop to realize, none of these wusses have guns. Well, some of them do, but they don\u2019t go public. There\u2019s a lot of Democrats that own guns, but they can\u2019t afford to admit it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to the Texas shooting. No, I did not lose my place. Have you noticed…? Have you heard the latest here? The Democrats are always demanding more laws, more restrictions on guns every time one of these happens. We find out that the shooter was able to get his guns because the United States government — the United States Air Force — neglected to enter his convictions for domestic violence into the FBI\u2019s database. If they had done so, he would not have passed a background check. We have plenty of laws that prevent reprobates like this guy from getting a gun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But if the data isn\u2019t there, then the background system isn\u2019t gonna know these people and they\u2019re gonna pass with flying colors. Now, I purposely said the U.S. government. The Air Force is part of the Department of Defense, and this is the U.S. government which failed at data entry here. There\u2019s another instance of this. Somebody else broke a bunch of laws that weren\u2019t gonna stop him anyway. The law doesn\u2019t necessarily always alter behavior, by definition. But there\u2019s one other example. The guy would not have… The place all these leftists want to turn to to fix all these problems is the source of the problem.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not trying to pile on the Air Force here. But it is what it is.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

\"\"RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what I was trying to think of. It was Dylann Roof. The FBI botched his background check. This the North Carolina church shooter. “The FBI admitted a few weeks after the June 2015 shooting that Roof should not have been able to buy the gun because he possessed drugs during a separate arrest in February of that year. Agency director James Comey said the mistake happened because the arresting agency was listed erroneously as Lexington County…”<\/p>\n

Anyway, Dylann Roof… This is two perps, two mass shooters who would not have passed background checks if government agencies hadn\u2019t screwed up. Now, this is all too common. Government agencies mess up because they\u2019re massively oversized bureaucracies. You know, data is only as good as the data entry. And let\u2019s face it; how exciting is it? You\u2019re sitting there at the keyboard and you gotta enter data all day long. I mean, it has to be done. There\u2019s no way to automate that.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t trust dictation yet to get everything right, so it has to be manually done. I\u2019m sure stacks of data pile up and the data-entry people (data processors is what they are) simply get overwhelmed and they end up saying, “You know, I don\u2019t need to put it in,” and they toss it in the “done” pile or whatever. Bottom line: The liberal Democrats are out demanding more people laws, more restrictions. We\u2019ve got more than we can keep track of now! Neither of these two shooters — Dylann Roof or this guy in Texas — would have been able to legally buy a gun.<\/p>\n

They wouldn\u2019t have passed a background check, and it\u2019s not the NRA\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Todd in Springfield, Illinois. Hi. Great to have you, Todd.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s great to talk to you, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir. Go ahead.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I just want to point out that this Air Force blunder is not an anomaly like I think they\u2019re trying to make it out to be. You know, the government, anything it puts its fingers in, it ends up screwing up and then spending all its time trying to fix. Examples are, you know, every time there\u2019s a screw up at a VA hospital, my senator from my home state, Richard Durbin, hits the Senate floor and starts railing about the VA when he is the VA. It\u2019s the government. But they always pretend that they don\u2019t have anything to do with this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, you\u2019ve nailed it. I\u2019ll tell you what, the government comes up with a new plan, a new policy, a new entitlement, and everything goes wrong and the government says, “We need to fix this.” We let the people who blew it in the first place fix it. Obamacare. By all rights, nobody in government ought to have a thing to do with whatever we do next because they so botched it the first time around. You\u2019re right. It\u2019s not an anomaly. It is the nature of bureaucracies. And we have a bureaucracy that\u2019s out of control and impossible to even measure its size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
