You're making the mistake of thinking your government has gone totally insane, and that New World Order is coming soon to a town near you. That’s where you’re wrong. Washington has gone over the deep end, but regardless what side of the political fence you stand on, if you even think this is your government in Washington, then we’d all better go find a rock to hide under." |

"Regardless of how the anti-gun community wishes to try to spin H.R.4757, the bill should help to improve NICS performance. By making sure the system has instant access to any relevant and legally permissible records necessary to determine if an individual is prohibited from possessing a firearm, law-abiding gun purchasers should experience fewer delays, while firearms can be successfully denied to violent criminals and those adjudicated mentally incompetent." |
