"...terrorists and criminals are able to buy guns at gun shows because there is no requirement for a background check," Americans for Gun Safety and Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah said.
But Janalee Tobias, the head of Utah's Women Against Gun Control, decried the attempt to paint the proposed gun show legislation as an anti-terrorism measure.
"Shame on them for exploiting the most tragic event in American history, and using it for their political gain. I am so tired of the irrational gun haters dividing our community and our nation. Do they think one more gun law will stop terrorists?" |

"The left has told us that inside each one of us is a little Hitler that if left to our own devices, we'd kill Jews, enslave blacks and throw women back into the dark ages." |
