Reply #20: those background checks are working fine [View All]

according to you, Steve?

How about the report that 40% of gun sales are done without a background check of any kind. Only some at gun shows from private sellers but the rest at the kitchen table or in the garage. 40% man. That's were the guns are going south. When you add to that the straw purchasing business that's rampant you've got a tremendous flow of guns into the criminal world. The third source is theft.

All of these things can be controlled, and not by expecting criminals to obey the laws, but by expecting the law abiding to.

I know all you want to talk about is the 15-year decline in violent crime. But if those things I keep talking about were cleaned up, what do you think the violent crime would look like then?
