They want to background check us … when is someone going to do a legitmate background check on THEM????
I have a sneaky hunch that the majority of sitting elected government officials could no longer get a Legitmate Security Clearance!
Start at the TOP because WE Already know HIS DOCUMENTS ARE FORGED!!

Not only NO, but HELL NO. I do not trust any thing put for they the socialist democrat pig in
Washington, DC. Politicans are coward who have lied, cheated and commited vile acts while
in office. Now they expect us to “Trust” them and expect them to honor their oath of office now?
Not lately numbnuts with rare exception there is not trust for lawyers who would sell their own
mother down the river for a vote from the leftist pigs who hate America.

Don’t comply! If everyone refuses to comply nationwide there isn’t much the can do without risking the start of a civil war.

Have any of the gun control laws that have been passed worked?

The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 covered only machine guns and sawed-off shotguns, as well as mufflers and silencers. It didn’t ban these but placed a tax on the transfer of such guns (taxing was within the legal ability of Congress). It also required the registration of NFA covered weapons. In 1968 the Supreme Court ruled that the registration requirement violated an individual’s 5th Amendment right and made the law unenforceable.

In the Gun Control Act of 1968 (response to all the violence of the ’60s – JFK, RFK and MLK, riots, etc.) it prohibited interstate traffic in firearms and ammo, denied guns to felons, minors, drug addicts and the mentally ill, as well as the importation of surplus military weapons and guns and ammo not certified as sporting weapons or souvenirs. This was passed under Pres. Johnson.

Then in the ’80s came the attempted assassination of Reagan and the wounding of his press secretary, Jim Brady. Reagan and Bush were both opposed to the Brady Handgun Bill but it was finally passed under Clinton. This bill did require background checks at the federal level but a court decision blocked this. However the provisions invalidated by the Court were, by law, to be phased out by November 1998 when the NICS was to be in place. The vast majority of law enforcement agencies continued the background checks on a voluntary basis.

The common thread to these bills are reaction to specific violence (mobs in the 30s, riots and assassinations or attempts in the 60s, and attempted assassination in the 80s) as well as passage under Democrat Presidents (FDR, Johnson and Clinton). None addressed the prevention of violence by evil, deranged, or otherwise criminal individuals, just as the Executive Orders recently signed by Pres. Obama do nothing to prevent a tragedy such as happened at Sandy Hook.

Did we have more violence by the mentally ill, minors or drug addicts prior to the passage of any of these bills than now? Have the laws in any state or city curbed this? If so, why does Chicago with some of the strictest gun control laws in the country have the highest murder rate? Why does Vermont with some of the least strict laws also have the third lowest crime rate? Why are the mass shootings happening in known “gun free zones” and not in gun stores?

Felons and criminals have no fear of gun bans, background checks or any other regulation concerning guns. They can purchase them on the black market (see inner city gangs in many of the large cities). Those that are law abiding citizens that gave a gun to a mom or a shotgun to a grandson were not the ones that created the violence in any of these decades. The laws that have been passed do nothing to curb that. Like everything else the government does as a knee jerk reaction to emotion (or to come a step closer to an ideology) is pass a law curbing the freedoms of average Americans. The criminal, mentally ill or simply evil individual does as he pleases until caught by the police.
