In the wake of the Sunday shootout between outlaw biker gangs in Waco, Texas, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is stressing that outlaw biker gangs would not have guns if legislators expanded background checks.

According to The Hill, Moms Demand Action’s Texas leader, Angela Turner, said, “There is no single solution to ending gun violence, but we do know that background checks on all gun sales save lives and keep guns out of the wrong hands.”

“... untracked gun show purchases...” Oh no you di’int. You mean private sales that happen to take place at a gun show. That’s more specific to what you meant right? Lucky for us WA and now OR have essentially banned the private sale of firearms. It won’t actually stop the sales, it just made them illegal. And soon maybe coming to NV if the IPOS/SPOS/LPOS/SPOS pass the 2016 ballot initiative. Yes, there is the possibility they obtained the weapons through private sales. Or got them from the drug cartels that some of the reportedly deal with.

Untracked back alley sales is another way.

You might be surprised how many bike gang members do not have a criminal record

The overwhelming percentage of bike clubs are just that ... clubs ... not GANGS.

Can we just send the biker gangs to Iraq, tell them to destroy ISIS, and then they can have the leftovers?

The Hells Angels offered to go to Vietnam back in the 60's. They were turned down

How about person to person private sales. What is your opinion on that type of transaction?

...Hence he term “1%er” which equates to “outlaw”. I.e. 99% of motorcycle clubs are legit.

The former leader of the Banditos was just on FOX saying that 70 percent or more of the members are clean as a whistle.

I’ve read some of what he’s written and he points a finger at the leadership as being a primary problem. They really sounded a lot like union leadership.

When you point that out to women like this, their reply is usually something like "well, I don't think it's right and someone should do something about it."

Hence he term “1%er” which equates to “outlaw”. I.e. 99% of motorcycle clubs are legit.

The AMA (American Motorcycle Association) stated that 99% of the people at their events were god fearing and family oriented. The other 1%er were hard riding, hard partying, non mainstream type people. Thus the term 1%er was born. Some of the early bikers embraced the term and decided to call themselves 1%ers.

It did not mean that they were law breakers or low life individuals. They were simply men that rode their motorcycles seven days a week in all kinds of weather, liked to drink and raise a little hell. Sometime during the 80’s law enforcement changed the meaning of the 1%er to what they wanted it to represent. It didn’t matter that their meaning was incorrect, they just spoon fed it to the general public and the courts as they had so many other things.
