NRA official urges Mainers to reject background checks on gun sales

In which that official said (in part):

“Whether or not you own a gun, Question 3 will be a nightmare for all of you,” Cox said. “It will turn law-abiding citizens into criminals overnight.”


To which your colleague replied:

Really? Turn law abiding citizens into criminals? How the hell does that work? Either you are law abiding or you're not. Get a background check and no problem, don't get one and you broke the law, ergo, not law abiding. Have I missed something here?

What alternative universe do these people live in? Oh, I forgot. Liburty and freedumb land. Only in the NRA's mind can this reasoning make sense.


In your own words, should the "not law abiding" Rev. Lucas be prosecuted or not?
