Would it not be nice if the sane people on both sides of this argument were to sit down and actually look at the facts. If the RKBA bunch were to see that there were honest studies that showed background checks worked, they would not be so against them. Most of them are honest and thoughtful people. The Permit to Purchase would not be popular, but if presented reasonably, with honest facts to back it up, would probably pass.
The others are worthless wastes of time, both antis, and RKBA. They have not worked in the past, and will not work in the future. Why are some people still talking about introducing them again. The dumbest man in the world will not piss on an electric fence time after time. He will eventually learn that it is not a good thing to do. Yet we have politicians who talk about the same old worthless ideas over and over. Every time it is brought up it costs votes. This has happened so many times that I can not believe there are people who are still stupid enough to bring them up again. Do they enjoy losing? Do they want to give elections to the party that has already figured this out? Is some one paying them to cause this much damage to their party? Who knows?
Perhaps, after what happened, the leadership will wise up about some issues, like this one.
