Go Carl!
No doubt, you’ve heard all about how [background] checks have stopped sales to bad guys 2.5 million (or whatever number is being bandied about of late) times. The reality is that with a false positive rate of 94%, that’s actually 2.3 million innocent people whose Second Amendment rights were mistaken abridged. That’s why there have been so few prosecutions (I think 140-something was the last number I saw; not 140,000, not 1,400… 140. Nationwide.) coming from those millions of NICS denials. At last report, the DOJ still had a backlog of tens of thousands of denial challenges to process.
Prohibited folks intent upon committing crimes just bypass pesky PPYI inflicted on the innocent.
New gun control laws would target only the honest folks who aren’t committing the crimes. So such laws violate rights without even the lousy excuse of enhancing public safety.
So naturally the gun control crowd whines, “But we have a growing gun violence problem, and you aren’t offering any solutions.”
No, we don’t; and yes, I am.
Much linky got filtered out of that blockquote. Go RTWT, he’s on a roll.
Danke.
On a roll, indeed. Nice work Bear. 🙂
Any measure which affects ONLY the guilty has my vote. Any innocent denied the right to self defense is just as heinous as murder. You are complicit in helping the murderer accomplish their goal.
Go Carl!
