Subject: Gun show loophole
To the idiot who wrote this article:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/editorialsopinion/134392087_gunshowed17.html
According to the FBI, only 2% of
firearms purchased at gun shows via private sale are ever used to commit a crime.
This means that at least 98% of those purchases are made by law-abiding citizens
who would pass a NICS check and likely posses a valid concealed weapon permit
(CCW).
If you’re really interested
in closing some so-called “loop hole”, perhaps your colleagues would
suggest that only persons who hold a CCW permit be able to purchase a firearm
at a gun show. The background check is the same to obtain the permit as it is
to buy a pistol from an FFL dealer. I haven’t heard anyone suggest this
though. Is it because simply showing a laminated piece of paper wouldn’t
add the holder to a database to be used during some future confiscation scheme?
I wonder if you have a clue as to
why SS troops in Germany were eventually able to round up millions of Jews and
terminate them. After seeing the government alphabet soup agencies commit horrendous
crimes against American people at Ruby Ridge, Waco, and thousands of illegal
IRS seizures, do you really think it couldn’t happen here?
Why do you think our fore fathers
included in the second amendment to the Constitution the words, “...shall
not be infringed.”? Do you suppose they knew something about human nature
that you naive gun-grabbers do not?
I have a suggestion: If you like
the idea of living in a place where law-abiding citizens have no effective way
of defending their homes, family, strangers, or self, how about you move to
Australia or UK or any number of other countries who’ve banned the possession
of firearms? Until or unless the second amendment is repealed, do not suggest
ways of violating it; for to do so is, by definition, “un-American”
and you will be made an enemy by more than 80 million patriots including, more
than likely, your next door neighbor.
Have a peaceful day,
Richard Beamis
