Did you happen to see
ABC World News last night? Gun shows and private sellers at those gun
shows. They are not supposed to sell to someone who they think would not
pass the check. The undercover people time and time again, said right to
the seller that they probably couldn't pass, not one single seller said
he wouldn't sell to them. Some even said things like "I don't care".

What do you think their answer would be to "did you actually do a
background check?, you know it is the law."

Corey Booker (Newark Mayor) was on Bill Maher the other night saying
100% of the guns recovered after a crime were illegally obtained.
You need a state issued license to buy a gun from anyone in New Jersey
that includes a background check. How is that working out for them?

That's obvious to anybody not too busy spouting NRA talking points.
Won't work when criminals can make an easy drive to Florida and buy all
the guns they want from you.
And that's how you want it. You've said that time and again.
You don't want your guns traceable. You don't want to pay 10 bucks for
a background check. That's all "impossible."
Oh, you might be all legal.
But your thinking is dirty.
When folks finally realize it's the gun nuts like you who ensure
criminals always have an easy source for guns, things will change.
Might take another decade or two, depending on gun homicide rates and
mass shootings, but things always change.
A black president - two terms. (And a fair possibility for a woman the
next two terms.)
Universal health care.
Open gays in the military. Women in combat.
Guys legally marrying guys, and women women.
And just 10 years ago you would be arguing here why none of that could
ever happen. Impossible, just impossible. You may still be denying all
of that has even happened. Common trait of old right wingers.
Truth doesn't matter. What I believe is what matters. Anything I don't
like is impossible, and I'll give you twenty reasons why.
Including digging up "dirt" on a neighbor, or how a gun is a saw blade.
So excuse me if I don't take your gun prognostications seriously.
Now go take one of your untraceable guns and put it on your table saw
arbor. Or maybe attach it to a hammer handle or car bumper.
Just try to focus so you don't shoot yourself.
