No worries, RvW...but those face to face sales that don't require a background check account for FORTY PERCENT of all handgun transfers in the entire nation.

Forty percent.

That means of the millions of gun sales that take place every year 40% of the new owners did not have to go thru a NICS check to obtain a handgun.

All they needed was cash.

If "guns don't kill people, people kill people" and we don't want to do anything about the guns, then we have to do something about the people, and making sure that felons and crazy people don't get guns is so obviously the very first and most important step that I'm amazed that anyone would be against it.

Anyone, that is, except for the NRA.

I'm not surprised at all that they are against it...in contradiction to 78% of their membership.

Why?

Also as noted above...they don't represent gun owners, they represent the guns and ammo industry, and they are after one thing...money.

Fish on...
