If you believe CNN:"""From the time when the gun control measures of the Brady Act were enacted on March 1, 1994, through the end of 2008, the federal government processed more than 97 million applications for gun transfers or permits, the Justice Department says.
Almost 1.8 million applications were denied, the agency said."""
That is 1.8MILLION APPLICATIONS DENIED
How many resulted in arrests? For Example: There is a person standing in a Gun Store, filling out paper work, signing it, showing ID, and is turned down because they are a felon, drug user etc., am I wrong, this seems like the easiest arrest that could be made? Most Gun Stores even have CC TV, the chances are with all the paper work, signature, ID, finger print (in many cases) and Video, even Barney Fife could make an arrest, and his brother Drum could get a conviction. Have we seen the Federal prisons swell with the weight of even half these guys? NO, how about 1/10 (180,000) NO, how about 1%(18,000) NO. Why? Are the Federal Law Enforcement departments told not to enforce, or are they just lazy? How about local law enforcement, are they told not to enforce? I know our local cops arrest people on Federal Warrants all the time, I guess it may be sexier to arrest somone who robbed a bank in another state than to enforce the law that keeps felons from purchasing weapons. One million eight hundred thousand is a big number, it is a lot of anything. This drive for background checks by the anti gun/anti American useful idiots(as their leader Karl Marx would have called them) can't be to arrest and convict those that have lost their right to own firearms, they haven't ever enforced it in the past. We all know there is more to it than this. I called my Congressman's office and asked his office to send me a letter detailing why less than 1/10th of 1% of the 1,800,000 have
been arrested or convicted, what plans are there for the other 99.9+%? The so called "leaders of the Gun Right crowd, including the NRA's people" are wimps, they seem un able or unwilling to present the facts when I see them on TV. They seem to be of the "let's don't want to rock the boat" limp wristed school of thought types. Maybe we should start at home, ask our mayors and Chief's of Police, why these arrests aren't being made. Most DA's are elected, ask their office why they are getting the job done (if they have to run anytime in the next couple of years they may actually pay attention).
