Bipartisan outrage swept through the in the Senate as Elaine Kaplan, of the Office of Personnel Management, testified that the company that ran the background check on Washington Naval Yard Shooter, Aaron Alexis, did not even attempt to get a copy of his arrest record from the Seattle police, but rather relied on the state record, which is very generic and did not include Alexis’ history of anger management problems. That would have sent red flags into the air. Both Republicans and Democrats were shocked by the disclosure. The Democrats are in a precarious position here, as it is their party who have dropped background checks on illegal aliens, Navigators in the Obamacare program, and whose president’s administration has warned companies, through the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)not to run criminal background checks on prospective new employees. They can feign outrage at the USIS for this oversight, but what happens when we begin seeing crimes committed by those whose backgrounds were intentionally not checked as a matter of policy by their party? Instant Background Checks
