3. Same old shit - new wrapper

I love it when the grabbers try and sound reasonable by changing a word here and there or proposing things that are already in place.

Fer cripes sake, they are still stupidly using that; "40% of all sales have no background checks" line from a study years before the NICS system was even in place. Hey, in 1959 every gun sales was made without a background check. It was up to the guy that owned the Western Tire and Auto store whether he thought you were old enough or sane enough.

OK, pretty much everything listed has been tried at the state level somewhere at some time. Can they show us any examples of how effective these ideas are?

They're just talking to themselves again. Next year ... "Mom's Demand Action" will be the wholly owned subsidiary and the new face of Bloomberg, after his dismal record for 2013. Then they will become the next Million Mom March - remember them?
