The dishonesty from the left mounting and the public knows is. Election time will be interesting if the Dems keep pushing social justice and gun control. Super majority here we come.

Clips from the article:

The truth is, the scary-looking guns many Democrats want to ban account for just 2% of gun deaths in the U.S. The vast majority of gun deaths are actually suicides. And most homicides are committed with handguns. Banning semi-automatic rifles is not only arbitrary, it would have negligible impact on gun violence in America.

Perhaps because the legislation is looming, some have even suggested that suppressors – what some people call “silencers” – must be regulated in order to prevent mass shootings. Hillary Clinton tweeted, “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”

Of course, silencers don’t make guns silent, not even close. And trying to put one on a semi-automatic rifle would likely just result in decreased accuracy and a melted silencer. But that’s how desperate we are for solutions – we will literally invent them out of thin air, based on nothing.

We’ll see if they’re willing to put their own elections on the line, or continue to talk about fantastic new laws that won’t actually solve our problem.

Boom! There were so many times when selling guns that NICS would "stay" someone's application. Meaning something flagged but they can't deny, so they would give us a "stay". Which means they were looking into it.

I have never seen a stay turn into a rejection. Never. And I did that and had full authority over an FFl license for over 8 years.

I also had people buying multiple firearms long and short in the same day, again never rejected.

In 8 years I probably had a handful of rejections. You can look at that two ways, but I know all those people probably weren't the most stable.

NICS should be farmed out to a privately held company instead of government run agency. That is my opinion. The inefficiency of the government leads to these types of issues.

I don't think they care about the suicides.

Seems like the Feds coulda seen Paddock stockpiling guns

Good point. That is very odd.

Is that going to become probable cause for investigation?***

A polite knock on the door

Yeah, I don't see that flying with the NRA.

This may be one area change may actually occur

Would it matter how many guns he had?

I was thinking the same. Why did he bring so many though?****

Why was he shooting at people?

I have another interesting question.

There are limits on how often people can buy certain types

Re: Great artlicle on Gun Control

Also seems rather disrespectful to our military to stockpile

This stance always strikes me as an odd one considering how

I do not trust you on this point.
