73

8,000,000 plus checks
117,000 denials (125,000 denials, offset by 8,000 reversals on appeal)
77,000 of these were referred to Field Offices for investigation (80% not involving felony records)
273 persons charged, and a whopping
73 convictions. [More]
I asked a question the other day in my Gun Rights Examiner column:
Would it not be a more meaningful "success story" for the Brady's to tell us--of those 1.6 million--how many were successfully prosecuted and convicted?
Incidentally, I was almost arrested for asking this question of Sarah Brady and Rep. Jane Harman some years back. The sensitivity to what happened there is what led me to establish the "Authorized Journalist" files.

    Typical pig to get in someone's face shitting on their Constitutional rights.

    Those nine ten-thousandths percenters are making the rest of us look bad.


    p.s. This is a swipe at the Bradys, not the prags.
