Kristen Helm, a TBI spokeswoman, said a software issue “crashed the server” at about 1 a.m. Monday morning, halting all gun sales in Tennessee for almost three days.
Not that there's a broader lesson to be learned from this or anything...
I've always said that such things cause economic damage. At one point the POC in my home state decided to change their hours, basically making it impossible for me to buy a gun unless I took a day off from work.
I hear there is fine print after "...Shall not be infringed" along the lines of "(except for software glitches, BATF whimsy, Senetorial confusion....)".

ReplyDeleteHelm said human error wasn’t a factor in the technical difficulties.
ReplyDeleteIf a "software issue" wasn't due to human error--what species, pray tell, did the programming?
and pray tell when it is acceptable to rescind unalienable rights because someone didn't or couldn't or wouldn't do his job correctly?
ReplyDeleteYou fuck up,and I pay for it? I don't think so.
When their database is down they should have no power to prevent a damn thing. If that doesn't work for them, maybe they should do a better job.
If they simply must fuck up, they must be held to the standard of fucking up on the side of liberty and citizens' rights.
ReplyDeleteThere is no honest excuse to do otherwise.
