OK, we're getting somewhere.
Once you have the background checks, and the tracking database, and gun registration/owner licensing, you are FINALLY giving the tools to law enforcement to track down the scum that are selling these guns. The current paper trail goes from gun manufacturer to gun dealer, and stops there. If it went further, then legal gun owners could help law enforcement by maintaining the paper trail til it gets to the scum who sell these guns to criminals.
If you don't have a trail, you can't track down the criminal. If gun owners are indeed "responsible", you would think that they would literally JUMP at the thought of helping to eliminate the maggots that make gun ownership so deadly. But they don't, because of some MISGUIDED PARANOIA ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT HARRASSMENT. This is the kind of absolute garbage that made Pres Bush quit the NRA.
Citizens who oppose efforts to keep track of legal guns by completing the tracking trail are playing into the hands of the criminals. DUPES.
Oh, the NRA sure does support instant background checks. But they oppose a practical means for keeping track: computerized record keeping. What a bunch of hogwash. Many times, the check cannot be completed in time, or turns up empty, because of the paperwork involved. I am amazed that the NRA is not charged with obstruction of justice. |
