ABC News report...how does this make sense...

[blume357]

we don't let crazy people be parents, why the heck are we letting them carry guns legally?

verti89,

when you come back to earth let us know what test people have to take before they can be allowed to have children.

That is the issue I tried to frame two years ago. You said it better

Actually, John if you listen closely to the Bradys they do in fact say that albeit not as loudly. I have heard Paul Helmke say ad nauseum "No background check, no gun, no excuses" so they are consistent with what you say as to the "loophole" being all private sales and I would be interested in the law they propose as it will I am sure include much more than just background checks at gun shows.

Looks like Bloomberg is starting up the media machine to do just that.

In some ways it's nicer when they lay it all out on the table. Scarier, but neater and easier to get your arms around.

I too prefer it that way. I wish they would say what they really want and that is no guns for anyone other than the military/police but they won't.
