While Senator Joe Manchin decides whether to reintroduce his failed background checks bill, other lawmakers are busy passing new gun measures that decrease rather than increase regulation.

On Monday, Gov. Jan Brewer signed two gun laws. One would forbid cities and counties from destroying weapons they obtained through gun-buyback programs. Instead, they must resell them so that guns purchased by police departments to get them off the streets will then be put right back on the streets.

As usual the Lib media commentator omits an inconvient truth.

The confiscated guns are going to be sold to a licnsed gun dealer. The Police Departments typically make a deal with a gun dealer in which the police get the new guns that they want and the dealer gives the police a discount for their old gun plus the inventory of the police’s confiscated firearms.

So all of the confiscated fire arms will be resold by a licensed fire arms dealer and will only be sold after a background check. Isn’t that just what Senator Joe Manchin and the Libs think is the answer to all of the problems of firearms.

If background checks will keep firearms out of the hands of bad people what’s the problem of confiscated firearms being sold after a mandatory background check? Or is the problem really that Libs don’t want honest law abiding Americans to have firearms period?

Or is the problem really that Libs don’t want honest law abiding Americans to have firearms period? You nailed it. The NYT writer clearly defines "guns on the street" as any guns not owned by the government.
