    I notice, as usual, that say nothing which says my argument is not one hundred percent accurate.

    Let me clarify a few points and maybe you will not continue to make useless statements.

    I would give up my guns in a minute, if I was assured that giving up my guns would save even one life. Giving my guns will not save a life and it could cost my wife's or my life.

    I would favor any effective gun control measure which would work. Not these ridiculous proposals which are not well thought out and which will make no difference. They are more feel good measures than really effective measures.

    You can endorse your argument for perpetuating the status quo, of course. The vast majority of Americans do not share the insistence on paralysis as a viable response to the level of firearm carnage in the US. If you have alternative proposals, you should share them.

    Not all gun fanciers are opposed to progress, not even in Texas:

    At the table across from Hammons, Karen and Gary Barlow were running a federal background check on a man who wanted to purchase a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The Barlows own their own federally licensed gun store, so they’re required by law to run these checks, but because of the so-called “gun show loophole,” unlicensed gun sellers here and elsewhere don’t have the same requirement.
    it is not a loophole. They are selling guns as licensed dealers. A person selling privately does not require a background check whether it is at a gun show or anywhere else.

    Requiring background checks for private sales is impossible to enforce as I have explained previously.

    It is already illegal in the united states to use a firearm for the purpose of committing harm or posing a threat to others. What more needs to be done when one already cannot legally aim a firearm at another?

    Such is motivated by the desire to eliminate competition in business for greater financial profits. Their support for background checks on private firearm transactions is driven by greed, not a desire for public safety.

    Background checks and "red line laws" are political poison pills for RP squishes and DP pinks.

    The gun dependent, whether through their own incompetence or defectiveness of their precious shooties, are a danger to the public as well as to themselves.

    Corporate liability is a serious consideration when it comes to allowing gunsters to mince around with man-enhancers on their hips in fear of hostile poultry.

    Gun enthusiasts are becoming disenchanted with the corrupt NRA's perversions.

    Increasingly, they cannot stomach paying tribute to the pampered, divisive "Fancy Pants" LaP's lies, distortions, fear mongering, and demonization of decent Americans.

    Strange letter. He loves the NRA, but does not like their characterization of the anti gun crowd. The anti gun crowd who is guilty of doing the very things he is accusing the NRA of doing.

    The already- imploding Washington lobby/scam has now been exposed as a Russian asset:

    Meanwhile, the focus on Trump's corruption will delay Americans' demands that the tragic consequences of the nation's firearm permissiveness be confronted.
