Records from the FBI show that Washington's new background check law blocked 50 gun purchases by felons during its first 14 months in effect. The FBI's criminal background check databased showed nearly 4,000 felons were caught trying to buy a firearm in Washington state last year after the implementation of the state's gun law, including the 50 private sales that are now regulated because of Initiative 594, KING-TV reported. |

Wow, just wow!
4,000 denied a purchase and 50 private sales denied.
And how many were prosecuted for attempting to buy a firearm as a prohibited person?

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
