What could go wrong with background checks?

Rush: Trump had some remarks at the White House recently. … Trump said something … He said that we need to really beef up our background checks. Well, let me ask a question. Your background checks are only as good as the data.

Now, what happens if the Barack Obama administration, working with Eric Holder at the DOJ…? What if they have a plan whereby they offer school districts money for — how to phrase this — not reporting criminal activity because of a decree from the administration that we need to change the prison population racial balance? So certain crimes committed by certain people will not be reported, will not be recorded. Arrests will not take place, and the number of those nonarrests will be a factor in how much additional money the school district gets — and the local police department gets — from the federal government?

What if you were to learn that such a system was in place in Broward County and Miami-Dade? If you were to learn that this kind of policy from the Obama administration was in place at any number of local communities, including school districts…? What if you were to learn that this Officer Peterson that didn’t go in — the armed officer from the sheriff’s department at the high school who didn’t go, stayed outside. What if you were to learn that these guys are not really law enforcement officers but political people that are designed to make sure certain crimes are not reported, that certain crimes are overlooked, in order maintain this balance?

… therefore, a background check would be worthless if perps are not in the database because they haven’t been arrested. You get the idea here.
