AGAIN, are any of those weapons you dismiss unable to fire multiple rounds in rapid sequence? What's the problem, won't they penetrate human skin?? You want us to believe that are not deadly weapons, and that they are merely lollipops and puppy dogs???
There were just two recent threads about background checks. NO ONE 'thinks there are currently no background checks on gun sales' The 9 out of 10 Americans who were behind the recent bill in Congress understand licensed dealers perform background checks, and that there is a hole in the law that allows people posing as a 'private seller' to move large quantities of weapons in the safe secure setting of a gun show.
If anyone is uneducated, it is people who have argued that there is no loophole. And the ones who believe the NRA represents law abiding gun owners. The NRA is a cancer on this nation, they represent gun manufacturers who could care less about public safety or keeping guns out of ANYONE'S hands.
Nothing can change what has happened, it is history, but there is no way of knowing how many of the other 80 gun deaths EACH DAY in America that could be prevented by common sense gun laws. And it is no reason to ignore no brainer legislation like expanded background checks, or for law abiding gun owners to keep supporting a lawless organization like the NRA.
