re: Ammo, politics, and stocking up

Nothing will happen with our guns and ammo short of some needed background checks for immigrants and mentally ill,

What does the current NICS not check now that could be added to reduce the crime rate? A majority of the murders committed with firearms are in large metropolitan cities' low-income areas and are committed with illegal firearms. I don't see any revised NICS improving that.

As a vendor at a gun show, you are required to do an NICS background check on any potential buyer of one of your firearms.

Can private sales happen between individuals at gun shows? Sure, but there is no loop hole.

I'll give you one statistic to end this - gun ownership is at a record level and continues to rise, yet the violent crime rate nationally continues to decrease. How can it be determined that more gun control is necessary?


You are horribly misinformed on this topic. I advise you do some research rather than repeating the same old liberal gun-control talking points that gun owners have been hearing for decades.
