Why the background bill check failed: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-background-check-bill-failed-2013-4 "The failure of the background check bill is baffling. The bill<http://www.toomey.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=968>, authored by two Senators with 'A' ratings from the NRA, would have extended background checks to sales at gun shows and all Internet sales, while exempting most private transactions between families and friends. (Under the existing system, more than 40 percent of guns are purchased without a background check.)
An overwhelming majority of Americans 86 percent support the measure, according to a *Washington Post*-ABC News poll released last week<http://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2013/04/16/National-Politics/Polling/release_226.xml>. That number includes 90 percent of Democrats and 84 percent of Republicans, with majorities in each group saying that they strongly support the measure." So crazy people, and/or criminals should be able to purchase guns at gun shows and over the internet. Wow. Baffling. I'm coming around to the viewpoint that less guns in the public's hands does equate to a reduction in gun violence, including gun suicide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362990 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
