So this law Fix NICS fixes the National Instant Criminal Background Check system thats maintained by the FBI I believe will save lives. Its not just mere symbolism.  Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C.  (SUTHERLAND SPRINGS)  Following his visit to First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) today made remarks regarding the passage of the Fix NICS Act. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyns remarks are below.

It was about five months ago that my wife and I came to the makeshift building I guess a week after the terrible events that occurred at this Baptist church right here behind me and it was an emotional experience as we all remember." And as I was trying to grapple with the magnitude and really the evil that we saw that day I asked myself what can I do as one person to try to make sure that something like this doesnt happen again." I was determined to make sure it was something that would actually save lives. So as we learned more about the gunman that day we learned that he slipped through the cracks of the National Instant Criminal Background Check system." The system is broken. It doesnt have the information in it." So this law Fix NICS fixes the National Instant Criminal Background Check system thats maintained by the FBI I believe will save lives. Its not just mere symbolism."
