Ya know, if the NRA would stop giving cash to Democrats just because they get a good “grade” in firearms attitude, I might would rejoin.

That aside, the video does show that these so-called gun show loopholes don't exist and that the real problem lies with the DOJ in not prosecuting violators.

In other words, it's not the big, bad, "EVIL" NRA, it's the politicians/bureaucrats who refuse to enforce existing laws.

Locally, a few weeks after Sandy Hook, two police officers were killed - the weapon used was an AR-15. Since we were in the midst of an AR-15 hysteria at the time, the local media really played up this angle.

What they didn’t report: I went online to the local courthouse records, and looked up the perpetrator. Predictably, he had a long record. In particular, he had previously served prison time for a felony. And, around a year before the shooting, he had been caught with a weapon...and charged as a convicted felon in possession of a weapon.

He got probation.

And surprise, surprise, he went on to murder two police officers.

Obama’s EO is a cynical joke.
