That’s the way to get America’s gun rights people on your side. Have Illinois legislators propose gun controls/sarc. The from the state with over 500 gun related killings last year. Why don’t they start by cleaning up their own messes?
Statement from Chris W. Cox Regarding Universal Background Checks
Posted on January 24, 2013
An article appearing on TheHill.com today asserted that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) is working on a bill with the NRA that would implement universal background checks.
NRA does NOT support universal background checks and is not working with Manchin to implement this type of legislation. NRA opposes, and will continue to oppose, universal background checks and registration schemes.
