Folks, the Brady Center has an online survey regarding "assault
weapons" and such. Can be found here:
http://www.bradynetwork.org/site/Pag...autologin=true
Topics of the survey:
1. GETTING ASSAULT WEAPONS OFF THE STREETS (AWB)
2. EXTENDING BACKGROUND CHECKS TO ALL GUN SALES ("loophole")
3. STOPPING BULK SALES TO GUN TRAFFICKERS
4. STRENGTHENING THE POWER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT (BATFE)
The only one that makes any sense at all is #4. However, is there
real data to support this statement:
"Using crime gun trace data, law enforcement can identify the 1% of
gun dealers who supply nearly 60% of crime guns. Even with hundreds
of violations, most of these rogue gun dealers remain open for
business because of restrictions Congress and the Bush Administration
have placed on ATF's ability to inspect them and revoke their
licenses."
Knowing how the Brady Center has no problems with fabricating data
and "facts' I don't trust anything they say. I don't believe for a
second that gun dealers found to be violating state or federal laws
remain open long. For example, in MA, where I know several gun store
owners, you sneeze wrong and they are all to happy to shut you down
and take away your FFL, etc. Where do these Brady figures come from?
I could almost support them here if it were actually true, which I
doubt very much, sort of like their claim of 'loopholes' at gun shows
which don't seem to exist.
