Pressing Matters

Slow the "instant" check down enough and Presto! Instant "gun control"! [More]

It figures headline-seeking Bolsheviks Blumenthal and Murphy are behind this --  Malloy's state-level tyranny in Connecticut has been exposed for the advertisement in impotence against the "I will not comply" movement that it is, so naturally, the Opposite Day "progressive" thing to do is expand defiance opportunities nationwide.

And of course we realize they're not really interested in "background checks" -- As I noted in my latest AmmoLand piece, if they were, BIDS would let them accomplish that with no records kept of gun purchases:
Besides, if those demanding it are really interested solely in background checks, and nothing else, they’d be pushing something like BIDS, the Blind Identification Database System, instead of NICS. That would identify firearms-disabled persons without creating any kind of transaction record that could then be used for registration purposes, and without compiling records of innocent gun owners. For reasons that should be clear by now, I’m not endorsing such a system, even though it would inarguably be an improvement. I merely point to its utility as a “poison pill” to prove those who say they only want background checks would be lying if they objected to BIDS, and to note all the major gun rights groups have been aware of – and deliberately ignored – this much less intrusive alternative for years.
That could be used against Bloomberg efforts in the states, for no other reason than to expose the Big Lie behind the demands.

Gun owners in Connecticut cannot claim victory because the unAmerican state government there cannot enforce its law. They must be compelled to repeal their misbegotten legislation or be hammered at the ballot box.

I doubt Comrade Murfsky's assertion that it won't affect their bottom line. pretty sure Dick's is still feeling the pain from their capitulation. those who stand their ground may well be the last men standing.
