MILLIONS OF GUNS CHANGE HANDS THAT WAY Reports say that the gunman who murdered seven people in a mass shooting in Odessa, Texas, on Saturday, legally never should have been able to buy a gun. But after reportedly failing a federal background check, he managed to get ahold of a gun anyway by purchasing it from a private seller. Some experts say that this case shows that private sales are a "gaping loophole" in the background check law, which must be closed to reduce gun violence. About 22 percent of gun owners in the United States report obtaining their most recent firearm in the last two years without a background check-which means millions of guns are exchanged this way each year.

Gotta love these morons whom are so desperately trying to win political points b crying assault weapons ban" and not a single one even had any clue at all about firearms beyond "military style".. So the want to ban something that #1 does NOT exist (Literally anything used to assault someone/something including your fists etc would technically be an "assault weapon") a #2 Even if it was possible (which it is not realistically) it would NOT solve any problem at all.. it would create MORE. Crime rates as already proven by facts/stats in history would go UP and the criminals would continue to be armed regardless. #3 Is legally a no win case or them in the US especially since the people now wont tolerate it and we all have far better ability to share information, facts etc and mount a defense vs such stupidity #4 is literally a catch phrase made up by the media to hype headlines etc in their pathetic attempts for ratings by sensationalizing key words and far more often than not they fail to even get the facts even close to correct.. and fail miserably to do any actual research so they could at least have a very basic grasp about the topic. Not to mention any attempt to ban anything based on looks/style alone is beyond retarded. (Case for this was already proven in Canuckistan or those that don't know.. they always cry about the AR15.... including the loudmouth moron Cukier (fake victim anone???) meanwhile the AR was NOT used in the incident she claims to be a survivor of. (I'm as much a survivor as she is for that incident since neither of us was even within a half a mile of the bad guy at that time). That was a Ruger mini-14 which uses the same cartridge typically.. but was a wood stock.. so they ignore it since ignorant people would think "hunting rile" when shown a pic of it,, its not "scary looking" like the virtually identical AR15 (virtually identical in firepower of course since its the same ammo.. but the wood stock makes it all warm and fuzzy instead o the evil black plastic lol) #5 The now expired 1994 ban the idiots cry about was a proven failure on so many ways i don' want to even think of counting such.. but that said the writing is on the wall or that and an attempt to force sch in again would be met with more lawsuits than they could shake a stick at. Fact is these dolts have just thoroughly embarrassed themselves on "film" displaying their total willful ignorance and in this age that is forever online and damn near world wide. Why do you think so many politicians in many countries are so desperate to attempt to censor the internet??? It sure as hell isn't to stop a 8yr old from seeing some woman's nipples....

He has now said that such a ban would be ineffective and expensive (given the required buy-back of existing guns). Instead, the Liberals have floated the possibility of banning more assault-style rifles and empowering cities to implement their own gun ban policies. CONSERVATIVE PARTY ON GUN CONTROL: As the Liberals tighten gun control, they'll paint the Conservatives as going in the opposite direction - so the Conservatives have already put out their own plan. It includes a lifetime ban on owning guns for anyone convicted of gang-related activity or certain violent crimes; a task force on preventing guns from being smuggled over the border, and gun seizures for people detained under provincial mental health legislation. The party also plans to repeal Bill C-71, Liberal legislation passed this year that Conservatives say just adds burdens on legal gun owners instead of criminals. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, September 6, 2019 8:14 am From: dennisryoung@telus.net Subject: Courtenay shooter wins Canadian championship COURTENAY SHOOTER WINS CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP Courtenay Fish and Game's Cowboy Action group hosted the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) 2019 Canadian National Championships over the Labour Day weekend.

Such a move would, at best, serve as an emotional bromide with no resulting increase in public safety. Licensed firearms owners are statistically less likely to violate the law than the average Canadian. There is nothing to be gained by holding these good people accountable for the acts of criminals, who would get guns despite a ban. It would also detract from pursuing effective anti-violence initiatives. Law enforcement officials agree, including the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, who do not support a handgun ban. https://vancouversun.com/opinion/letters/letters-sept-5-instead-of-attracting-foreign-university-students-from-other-countries-add-more-canadians ------------------------------ Date: Fri, September 6, 2019 9:32 am From: dennisryoung@telus.net Subject: Ocasio-Cortez: 'Why on earth' would you lend your handgun to ... ...friends?
