Democrats to Discuss Closing The “Gun Show Loophole”
Several Democrats and at least one Republican think that it is time start looking at closing the “gun show loophole.” This is an attempt to criminalize the sale of weapons between two individual law abiding citizens. Currently a background check is required before a gun dealer can sell a gun but two individuals can buy and sell guns with no background check.
Legislation is going to be introduced that would prohibit ANY gun sales without a background check.
Reps. Michael Castle (R-Del.) and Carolyn McCarthy, (D-N.Y.) held a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday with survivors and families of those killed at Virginia Tech to announce the introduction of a bill that would require a criminal background check in every weapons purchase.
This is not going to solve the problem of criminals who purchase and use guns, they will still find a way to buy guns they don’t obey the law anyway, all that this legislation will do is prevent two law abiding citizens from buying and selling guns.
This legislation was introduced in front of families of people who were killed in the Virginia Tech shooting. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Virginia Tech killer legally purchased his guns through a dealer after being subjected to a background check. How well did that background check work?
Virginia Tech is a gun free zone, so while the killer was legally able to purchase a gun, the victims were not allowed to carry guns to protect themselves. If just one law abiding citizen was allowed to carry a gun perhaps the results at Virginia Tech would have been different.
Criminals are going to find weapons if they want to, they aren’t going to gun shows to purchase their weapons. It is law abiding citizens who attend the gun shows and we are the ones being targeted here. It will start with the “gun show loophole” but it won’t end there. This is just the beginning. This is just an excuse to implement more gun laws, evidently 14,000 gun laws aren’t enough, and to begin the assault on the second amendment that we know is coming. They start off with an issue that they feel most people won’t have a problem with but then the regulations keep on coming slowly but surely until one day we look around and wonder what the hell happened.

I feel sorry for these people who don’t understand that if someone wants to commit a crime, the law isn’t going to stop them. It only stops us, those who abide by the law.
If you want to know where this will lead us, than all you have to do is look at Canada. They bought into this and they are now looking at having their guns confiscated.
Sign up for the NRA and help them help us keep our second amendment rights.

Englan too. I think it was on your blog that I saw that video of the English people who were trying to get their gun rights back.

Yes, it was. And there is another video out from Canadians telling us NOT to buy into this. They thought it would be okay and now are trying to figure out how to undo it. We have to stop it NOW. After the legislation is passed it will be too late.
Of course, if more states follow Minnesota and Texas, than all we need to do is buy guns that are made in the state we live in! I am waiting to see if Oklahoma does this – then I will wait to purchase my gun when I move back.

I thought so. I think that I saw that video about the Canadians also, maybe on your blog as well.
You really are going to leave us and move back?
