Yeah, Right

Can you imagine being suicidal and then saying "I'm not going to do this after all because I was checked out by local authorities instead of NICS"?

And, of course, the criminal population, surprisingly the one with fewer options and more stress and depression, bypasses the system completely.

Good grief--they couldn't even do a study for Milwaukee proper because "the city does not have a federally licensed gun shop." So naturally, the mayor is all for local checks.

This is just more smoke and mirrors aimed at eliminating private sales and establishing a database of gun owners. I don't have time this morning to dig deeper into it--maybe I can get back to this story soon--and hopefully, John Lott is preparing something to expose this as the agenda-driven foolishness it sounds like.
