It is a big waste of taxpayer money and it is partisan. They should pull the funding.

Writing off gun owners Saturday, January 25, 2020 Tim Alberta of Politico went back home to see what is happening in rural Michigan. He attended the Mid-Michigan Gun & Knife Show. The result was a piece, " How the Gun Show Became the Trump Show." He interviewed Michael Schenk, 56, a man with "the permanent pain of injuries he suffered over years of work as a lineman and tree trimmer," as Alberta wrote. Schenk was not there for guns or knives, Alberta wrote, "Rather, he wanted to peruse the collection of pro-Trump baseball caps and possibly find a sturdier back brace designed for outdoorsman activities." In response to a question from Alberta, Schenk said, "Wait a minute. You think there are Democrats — here?" Once vast herds of Democrats roamed the plains of western Michigan. Schenk said, "When I was a kid, we were all poor, and it seemed like everyone was a Democrat. These days, I don't know any." Democrats have embraced abortion and gun control, among other things. Abortion is not a deal breaker. The pro-life movement faces the problem of abortion being declared a right. It's not but abortion advocates did good PR on that one. Gun control is a deal breaker because gun ownership is an enumerated right. People know the real aim is gun confiscation. We have had gun control for 52 years. If you are a felon or crazy, you cannot buy a gun. Wife-beaters and people dishonorably discharged from the military cannot buy guns. The list of people banned is long. You can only buy from a licensed gun dealer and they must check out every buyer even at a gun show. [UPDATE: People have pointed out individuals may sell among themselves. I forgot.] Gallup reported 43% of Americans live in a gun-owning household. Democrats have written that 43% off in their pursuit of Hispanic and black voters. Only 26% of Hispanic households and 29% of black households have a gun. 50% of white households do. Perhaps Democrats hope we will all just die off so they can make the USA North Mexico. If you write off 43% of the voters, you had better be sure the other 57% are in your corner because math says you need 89% of them. It is their problem, not mine. I officially switched parties in 2002.
