"Gun control advocates in both Vermont and New Hampshire must be discouraged at the failure of measures in their respective legislatures this winter that would have extended background checks, with some exceptions, to private firearm sales. Both bills were sensible attempts to keep guns out of the hands of people who are ineligible to purchase or possess them under federal law: violent felons, domestic abusers and mentally ill individuals who have been determined to pose a risk to themselves and others." ... |

These people consistently ignore the Constitution as it confines their "great" ideas.
There is no, repeat NO delegated authority to regulate private transfers of personal property, so long as that property isn't contraband.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
