Editorial Time to stop those who lie to buy a gun
The Kansas City Star urges tightening gun background checks after a felon, Marlin Mack Jr., passed NICS verification to obtain a firearm used in a deadly shootout with Kansas City police. It calls for prosecutions of liars on checks, investigation into gaps, and congressional review of NICS upgrades. The piece points to prior inspector general findings and aligns with renewed federal enforcement rhetoric.
