From the article: "Eighty-nine percent of Americans said they wanted mandatory background checks for anyone buying a gun, ..."

If this was not a blatant lie, then it would be possible for such a super-majority to amend the Constitution practically overnight. The author only wishes it were true. If not for lies, the anti-gunners would have very little to say.

By putting guns into the hands of terrorists, criminals and the mentally ill, the NRA

I live close to the National NRA Office. I see them everyday out in the street handing out guns. /sarcasm

"we do not know how people are put on the list" and "many times people are victims of mistaken identity."

That's an indisputable fact. Remember the incident where Senator Ted Kennedy got on the list somehow? As dangerous as he may be to anyone foolish enough to accept a ride from him, I doubt that he poses any risk whatsoever of being part of a terrorist hijacking plot.

The fact that this joker doesn't address the many incidents of errors (and possibly petty bureaucratic "screw you" harassment) associated with these lists is sufficient in itself to dismiss his opinion as worthless.

You have to show ID to purchase alcohol or cigarettes.

And I’m fine if I have to show ID to buy a gun (or have the seller call in to see if I am on the do-not-sell list. I just don’t want the governemtn collecting any data about whether I actually buy a gun, what model, or what serial number.

“Card” me, don’t database me.

And if anyone insists on collecting data on my purchases, I know they are truly intent to confiscate my guns, and throw me in jail for not giving them up one day.

[Brucifer]

This is all BS. I don’t need an ID for alcohol or cigarettes, and I damned sure do need one for a firearm.

The left is so pathological it’s scary.

***But beyond the headlines, consider this news: 83 Americans die each and every day from gun violence.***

BS!

And for anyone who didn’t already know it, the American Hunter and Shooter Association is strictly a cover for gun control:

If this moron could not make a circular argument he would have nothing to say. Our rights can be taken away when we meet a predetermined standard of guilt or incapacity. This guy wants our rights removed because of some vague undefined suspicions based on a secret standard. That’s what this is all about. No member of the NRA want to see guns in the hands of criminals, children, or terrorists but we are not willing to let big brother strip of us our rights just because some one has a belief that they won’t even tell us about. His circular argument is nothing more than a manipulation of truth and facts that quickly becomes BOLD FACED LIES!!!!!
The author only wishes we were stupid enough not to see and clearly understand his detachment from reality.

Bay State neighbors New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine are three of the top four crime-gun source states for Massachusetts, where guns are easily purchased by prohibited buyers without a background check or an ID.

I'm pretty sure every gun purchase at a gun store is approved by the FBI database. A National requirement.
Handgun purchases get registered.

[wastedyears]

This guy is a bloody idiot. Replace bloody with any number of profanities and you have what I said before typing.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This is what we are up against.
They will not stop until they have seized all guns from honest, law-abiding people and consciously left them in the hands of criminals.
They refuse to admit that making a new law will have NO effect on the criminal [criminals don’t obey laws].
