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?
Crickets chirping. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
