The sorry National Rifle Association

Condie, are you genuinely afraid of people owning firearms or are you just falling in line with the warped ideology of other left-wing "progressives"?

Member for 53 years -- presently, Golden Eagle. 

Condie isn't allowed pointy scissors, any more.

___

You, of course, are allowed to keep your pointy head.

Pardon, Condie, he must think himself one of the French committee apres the Revolution, determining who may or may not keep their heads.

I've made the one suggestion that would keep the crazies from easily obtaining firearms -- include state records in FBI database.  Hopefully, Condie isn't amongst them.

It would also help if the Obama administration would enforce the existing laws on the books. I guess he doesn't want Dem voters in prison on election day.

Now that you have offered you standard non-responsive spin, try actually addressing these important issues raised in the item I posted:   

<<<Consider, for example, the federal law requiring licensed gun dealers to notify the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when a single purchaser buys two or more handguns within five days. The A.T.F. knows that multiple purchases are an indicator of trafficking, and that traffickers can evade the law by making a single purchase from five, 10 or 20 different gun stores. So why doesn’t the A.T.F. crosscheck those purchases? Because Congress, under pressure from the N.R.A., prevents the federal government from keeping a centralized database that could instantly identify multiple sales. Gun sale records are instead inconveniently “archived” by the nation’s gun dealers at 60,000 separate locations — the stores or residences of the nation’s federally licensed gun dealers, with no requirement for digital records.

Rather than preventing crimes by identifying a trafficker before he sells guns to potentially lethal criminals, the A.T.F. has to wait until the police recover those guns from multiple crime scenes. Then law enforcement officials can begin the laborious process of tracing each gun from the manufacturer or importer to various middlemen, the retail seller, the original retail purchaser and one or more subsequent buyers.

Meanwhile, dealers who work with traffickers are protected by anotherN.R.A.-backed measure that ensures that firearms dealers do not have to maintain inventories.Think about that: A car dealer keeps an inventory to know when cars go missing so the police can track them down as quickly as possible. Why the lack of curiosity among gun dealers? Well, gun dealers must report lost and stolen guns to the A.T.F. because large numbers of missing weapons are a red flag for trafficking. Without an inventory requirement, it’s easier to sell guns off the books.>>>

It sure didn't matter to the BATF and the Obama DoJ to follow up on information that gun stores near the Mexican border gave them with timely prosecutions. Instead hundreds of weapons went to the drug cartels.

 I have never heard of tracing guns that weren't found at a crime scene. Do the police need a psychic to get the serial numbers and a mind reader to tell if a person who owns the weapon is planning to use that weapon in a crime. I suspect that if a gunrunner has used certain stores before, a BATF agent can take a break from his p*orn viewing and go to the stores with a warrant or just ask nicely.

PM me how to send you copies of the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

That should keep your shredder running for a little longer.

It's Lefty, pacified, pri*ks like YOU, who are willing to put your faith in the current Government.

I agree, some people should not have access to guns, not even rubber band guns.

You would probably shoot yourself in the eye.

There are several weaknesses in your argument. First, you assume that the buyer used the same dealer in every instance, instead of rotating once a week, or so.  The reason for requiring the sales to be kept separate is to confound the government from assembling a national database.  Such databases are convenient for seizing firearms, but not controlling criminal use.  Canada spend well over a billion on their small population, without an suitable effect on the crime rate. then, abandoned the effort, 

Control, control, control -- the left's true mantra.

Oh, yeah--that old stale paranoid argument that the gummint wants to develop information on firearms purchases so they will know where all the guns are when they activate the black helicopters to swoop down on our houses, unload the storm troopers with their flash grenades and battering rams, and forcibly invade and search our premises for guns to confiscate.  Grow up, dire.
