Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Why I'm not going to rejoin the NRA just yet. [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)75. since MAIG lied about everything else
the law prohibits the ATF from releasing trace data from non LE It is not that they refuse to. If ATF gave MAIG data they violated the law
and where is the study? Why can't we read it for ourselves? Given their level of dishonesty about current gun control laws, their dishonesty about the Tiahart Amendment by claiming that it does not allow ATF to give data to local LE when in fact it does.
This sentence here:
On a per capita basis, more members of MAIG have been convicted of felonies CCW holders or the public at large, do you seriously expect me, or any critical thinker, to accept anything they claim at face value?
How is the Tiahart Amendment "anti-police"?
It is up to them to back up their claims by providing the evidence that their claims are based on. They have not because they can not.
