This is pure sickening. The victim disarmament crowd is shameless. If these liberal fascists don't like it here why don't they just buy themselves a one way ticket to Cuba!? This is a perfect strategy for the left. The more you disarm people the more victims you create so you can justify more programs,more taxes,more police,etcetera at our expense. If Americans can take care of themselves how can they convince us that we need them? They can't its that simple. They're trying to put an end to this threat of independant Americans.

Leftists are shameless, unprincipled parasites!

All parasites are shameless and unprincipled. It's a common characteristic. I define it further as "parasitical elite". BTW you've heard the phrase, "voting for the lesser of two evils." Both sides of the aisle are overrun by parasites that compromise honest principles. The People are the host.

In a report released Wednesday, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence said potential terrorists are taking advantage of provisions in existing laws to purchase guns. The center claims terrorists from around the world come to the United States to amass firearms.

So what are they complaining about? Wouldn't these purchases be getting guns out of the country? Previous posters are right: she ought to go to China to keep them from undermining American gun sales!!!

Would anyone be surprised to find out that Sarah Brady has body guards that use guns (like Rosie?)

These liberals are great: they fight for the Constitutional rights of non-citizen terrorists, but seek to deny the Constitutional rights of decent, law abiding U.S. citizens. I guess their terrorist friends are more deserving of the protections granted and affirmed in the Constitution!

To make its case that gun shows are a “breeding ground for gun sales to terrorists,” the Brady Center report cited the example of a Lebanese man convicted of conspiring to ship weapons acquired at Michigan gun shows to the Hezbollah terror organization.

Why would anyone buy firearms in America to ship overseas? It would be much cheaper to buy them in countries like China and ship them from there. A fully automatic weapon would cost 3,500 to 10,000 dollars in America where the same 10,000 dollars in China could buy crates of AK-47s.

My guess is that this is talking about Hezbollah activity in the USA or Canada. Hopefully someone will find the article to clear up this question. If they were shipping machine guns from the USA to the Middle East, that would make about as much sense as shipping ice from Ecuador to Antarctica.

FYI: Percentage of gunshow purchased guns that are used in all crimes....7/10 of 1 percent, that's 0.7 percent.

Whoever wrote this report has little or no understanding of economics.

In the Middle East (where the fighting is), reliable knock-offs of AK's can be had for next to nothing - not to mention lower shipping costs, no export regulations or customs to deal with, etc.

Exactly. In the Middle East you can buy anything from a B-B gun to an F-16, fully loaded.

This is just more crapola from The Brady Bunch and the rest of the gun grabbers. Pay no attention to them - do what you gotta do.

What is very sad is that the government and elite in Washington are using 9/11 to push their agenda (whatever it is) and infringe on rights and most people dont care.
