>Isn’t it a little like Ted Bundy pointing out he hasn’t murdered the vast majority of Americans, though? You expect there to be no murders. I expect murders to be low, and for murderers to be punished. I also expect the number of murderers in the police force to be only slightly better than that of the rest of society. There are background checks, but there are also other factors that may increase the rate, regardless: I expect from them what I expect from everyone. So-- 7,000 murders per year. For Iceland that's high. I think they had 3 last year. For the United States, that's fucking fantastic! I wish we had 7,000 murders per year! If we had 3 that would be awesome but I'm not delusional. It's all about the wider context. Especially in this case, 6,800 of the misuses were from the LA sheriff's department doing background checks for gun permits so that's almost certainly a policy and procedure problem that has been fixed. So that leaves around 200 cases. Is that good? No. But how bad is it? 200 misuses out of ten quadrillion accesses is pretty not bad, if you ask me. edit: and that's a sign that things are going well because I am not dumb enough to expect 0 misuses of anything by any group of individuals. I expect misuses to be low and for misuse to be punished.
