I read what you posted the first time, and your approach is wrong.

You want the feds to prosecute everyone that tries to buy a weapon and is refused.

I explained to you why you are wrong in your thinking.

If you want to stop "GUN VIOLENCE", stop plea bargaining crimes down.

We have a law in Pennsylvania that was pushed and passed by our Governor Thornburg in the 80's that proscribed that if you commit a crime with a gun you were to serve five years in prison. This sentence was to be served NON-CONCURRENT.

In other words, if you committed a robbery with a fire arm and were sentenced to ten years in prison, you got an extra five years tacked on after your original sentence was served.

This actually worked to reduce crimes with guns.

But it didn't take long for filthy democrat DA's in big city democrat strongholds to allow this proscription to be the first thing to be plea bargained away. So now there is no deterrent to committing a crime with a gun.

We now have a rash of Pittsburgh police that have been shot by criminals that should have been serving time and not allowed to be set free on our streets.

Enforce the laws that we already have. They are more than adequate to stop criminals if enforced.

You didn’t read it very well or you have low comprehension. The entire point of my post isn’t to prosecute every NICS rejection. Most are likely in error.

My post proves that the existing law isn’t being enforce. It is easy to enforce and there is an ton of evidence against a felon who goes through the NICS: they are videod, there is a live human witness (the gun shop owner/clerk), they use an ID, they fill out and sign the paperwork and lying on it is a felony in and of itself.

Why don’t these NICS rejections get prosecuted?

Reread it a third time and you’ll see we’re in agreement. You’re misreading what I wrote.
