Twenty years ago Saturday, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act became the law of the land. This groundbreaking gun-safety law requires background checks on all gun sales by licensed dealers.
Background checks on gun purchases work. The law has stopped more than 2 million convicted felons, domestic abusers and individuals with serious mental illnesses from purchasing firearms.
But the Brady Act has a big loophole: It does not require background checks on the estimated 40 percent of gun transfers made between private parties. This means anyone can purchase a firearm at a gun show or over the Internet without undergoing any sort of background check. Last year, an estimated 6.6 million firearms were transferred this way.

Why, if Congress paid for a study of Murder Rate vs. Gun Ownership Rate, haven’t we heard more about this?
Could it be that the results went against the gun seizure agenda?
Well just about everyone has guns here in Texas and our crime rate sure is LOWER than in DC, NYC, CHicago, L.A., etc
The most corrupt member of the Senate wants to make sure no one can oppose her and her greedmad husband as they loot the American populace

DIdnt get far before the first lie. How and to who has it provided safety???? These things you can be sure of: 1) Liberals have NO problem killing people who refuse, 2) Registration always leads to confiscation and 3) Genocide always follows confiscation. It most certainly can happen here b/c it already has started...
If the Left will never give up on the guns, why should the rest of America give up on the birth certificate?
How much money have they stolen from the taxpayers now?
Ever day I wonder how much more bullying from these undistinguished runt tyrants Americans will take.
That pic is an insult!
To PIGS......................
God this stupid b*tch just will not go away. We’ve beaten your sorry ass five ways from Sunday on this issue so GIVE IT UP already!
This is a G!D D@MN LIE!! You cannot legally buy a gun on the internet across state lines without going through an FFL dealer, who is obligated to do the background check. Look at Gunbroker.com's rules. Craigslist doesn't allow gun ads. I can't say about other sites, but this comment stinks out loud.
I wish these retards would stop claiming that you can buy guns online without a check or the 4473. I want some “journalist” to do a special where they try to buy a gun online and see what happens when they don’t have an FFL to ship to. Or the sequence of events when they actually go to pick up the damned thing.
When she shuffles off to Hell like Mandela, the MSM and ‘rats will call her a saint while most Americans—freedom loving patriots—will just be happy she’s gone.
...because there’s NOTHING else to worry about, right, Fine Swine?
Daniel’s Defense has more to do with safety than Pigstein the senator.
