In Chicago in 2012, 94% of all criminals who used guns in crimes were NOT even charged with a crime. NO NEW GUN LAWS!

Boehner better not throw us under the bus!

I trash him regularly but he seems to be right here. So I commend him for it. Hope he sticks to it.

Oops, should’ve read the article. Still, we don’t need any more gun laws.

Every gun I’ve ever bought I’ve had to go through a background check.

So yeah.

Already got that.

He said that there are already enough laws to enforce and that we don’t need a “political” solution. Commend him for that and hold him to it by writing to representatives.

My shotgun and my .22 were online purchases, both of them sent to a dealer where I had to submit to check before I could take them.

Of course they were both new.

No background check for antiques (pre 1899). The new colorado laws may override that.

Funny how many FReepers attack Boehner without even reading the excerpt of the article.
