It's a fools errand to look for either truth or consistency in Democrats. Their rush in the post-Colorado shooting is to 'close loopholes' in background checks to prevent future shootings....
1. This from a former member of the Obama/Biden Administration:
"'We have to act': Biden calls on Congress to move fast on background checks, assault weapon ban after Boulder shooting
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden called on Congress to "immediately pass" legislation that would close loopholes in gun background checks and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in his first public remarks after a mass shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, killed 10 people.
"I don't need to wait another minute, let alone an hour, to take common-sense steps that will save the lives in the future and to urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act," Biden said Tuesday, speaking from the White House State Dining Room."
2. Of course, based on the Democrat racialism policy, the "Promise Program," they did everything possible to obviate background checks.
They claim to favor background checks so that those who are a danger, and shouldn't have guns.......don't.
Let's check.
Democrat Hussein Obama saw how many blacks and Hispanics couldn't get into college due to prison and arrest records. As a tried and true Liberal, rather than address the reasons for jail time, he simply demanded that they not be arrested...period: ignore the facts.
He threatened schools with DoJ charges of racism if they didn't comply.
“….new discipline guidelines strongly recommending that the nation's schools use law enforcement measures and out-of-school suspensions as a last resort. Announced jointly by Duncan and then-Attorney General Eric Holder, the new procedures came as more than friendly guidance from Uncle Sam – they also came with threats of federal investigations and defunding for districts that refused to fully comply.”

Even if the individual should have been arrested:
"Cruz assaulted students, cursed out teachers, kicked in classroom doors, started fist fights, threw chairs, threatened to kill other students, mutilated small animals, pulled a rifle on his mother, drank gasoline and cut himself, among other "red flags."
Threatening to kill someone is a felony. In addition to locking Cruz away for a while, having a felony record would have prevented him from purchasing a gun.
Cruz was never arrested. He wasn't referred to law enforcement. He wasn't even expelled."
The School-To-Mass-Murder Pipeline
As a result, Cruz passed a background check, got a gun, and killed 17 innocent human beings.
3. One can only wonder what the result would have been if all of the victims in Colorado had been armed, and hadn't relied on government to protect them.
