Yep a whole twelve!ATF Referred about 13,000 Firearms Denials to Its Field Divisions for Investigation in Fiscal Year
2017, of Which USAOs Have Prosecuted 12 Cases.
That is just unacceptable. Then the politicians say we need more laws that won't be enforced. Maybe less donuts and more enforcement work is in order.flintknapper wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 6:56 pm https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/694290.pdf

Might not hurt to tighten things up a little in this case.
Different than 'expanding' background checks....I understand. I am NOT for that, but it wouldn't hurt things to vigorously ENFORCE some of the gun laws we already have in place.
I wonder how many of the 37.9 don't realize there is already a background check?AF-Odin wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 7:31 pm As of 7:30PM Sunday night, poll is 56.9% against background checks, 37.9 for, and 5.2 Unsure, would depend on specifics. Currently very small sample size.

Although I'm one to wear out the Tracking Notice and wait anxiously for the delivery vehicle, I don't think I'd oppose a 3-day waiting period IF a true background check was made, would you? Granted, criminals by definition are still criminals, but there are a lot of loonies loose on our streets and in our 'hoods. Just watch CNN and MSNBC for examples thereof.03Lightningrocks wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 8:59 pmI wonder how many of the 37.9 don't realize there is already a background check?AF-Odin wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 7:31 pm As of 7:30PM Sunday night, poll is 56.9% against background checks, 37.9 for, and 5.2 Unsure, would depend on specifics.

I would hate a 3 day period if I needed a gun for self defense right away.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:34 pmAlthough I'm one to wear out the Tracking Notice and wait anxiously for the delivery vehicle, I don't think I'd oppose a 3-day waiting period IF a true background check was made, would you?

After all folks, this is 2019AD and it ain't 'your father's Oldsmobile'.
Good point about the Oldsmobile, considering the number of Americans killed and injured by car violence.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:34 pmAlthough I'm one to wear out the Tracking Notice and wait anxiously for the delivery vehicle, I don't think I'd oppose a 3-day waiting period IF a true background check was made, would you?

If one needed a gun for self-defense "right away", shouldn't one have already screamed, locked the doors, picked up a cudgel of some sort, and called 911? If the evildoers are already on the premises, it's a little late to run down to the local gun store.03Lightningrocks wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:51 pmI would hate a 3 day period if I needed a gun for self defense right away.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 9:34 pmAlthough I'm one to wear out the Tracking Notice and wait anxiously for the delivery vehicle, I don't think I'd oppose a 3-day waiting period IF a true background check was made, would you?

Many assaults are by people known by the victim. It isn't always a stranger suddenly popping up in ones life. Finding out ones life is in danger and wanting to get a firearm for self defense immediately happens more than many think.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Sep 15, 2019 10:07 pmIf one needed a gun for self-defense "right away", shouldn't one have already screamed, locked the doors, picked up a cudgel of some sort, and called 911?
