Here's the problem with capitulating with NICS in the 90s, thank you Frenchie. You assumed the other side was actually interested in stopping gun crimes. You assumed that they were negotiating in good faith. They weren't.The question that remains is why the criminal was not arrested and prosecuted when he attempted to illegally purchase a firearm? The FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) system worked in this case, but after the appropriate denial was made, what happened next?
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, has long called for enforcing our laws. Those who try to buy firearms, knowing they are a prohibited person, are breaking the law.
And yet, they are rarely prosecuted for illegally lying on a federal form and claiming they are not prohibited.
They were willing to say and do anything to get on TV and all for step 5 towards a registry. And you gave it to them. Now, all of the technology is in place. The population is at maximum stupidity, but the internet, homeschooling, crushing college debts, etc are beginning to shave a few percent away from the master plan...The time to spring the trap is now.
Again, you misunderstand Mr. Buck. They're not negotiating in good faith. They're liars and deceptive as all hell. “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”Well, as the Washington Examiner reported over the weekend, when Congressional Dems were drafting the federal bill they’re currently pushing to incent state to enact their own red flag laws, they balked at applying the statute to known criminals.
Colorado Republican Ken Buck offered up an amendment designed to disarm known criminals.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee amended the measure during a Wednesday mark-up to authorize the federal government to issue extreme risk protection orders in some instances, but they rejected an amendment that would have red-flagged anyone who law enforcement lists as a gang member.
Buck said,
My amendment is quite simple. It would allow the issuance of a red flag order against anyone whose name appears in a gang database if there was probable cause to include that individual in the database.
But Democrats couldn’t quite stomach the thought of grabbing guns from people known to commit a significant percentage of America’s violent crimes and most of the criminal instances of “gun violence.”
Democrats objected with reasons that sounded very familiar to Republicans.
GOP lawmakers have staunchly opposed “No Fly, No Buy” proposals Democrats have tried to pass in the House in recent years because the lists flag the wrong people.
Like the no-fly lists, which have erroneously flagged many innocent individuals as terrorists (including the late Sen. Ted Kennedy), the gang databases are often inaccurate, Democrats said.
It doesn't matter how great your damn database is. They're not interested in keeping crime down! It doesn't help the narrative!
They drug these psychos and don't give one thought to who will be killed. Stop thinking that these people are anything but your enemy.
