    | "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. The NICS checks pass constitutional muster only on commercial sales pursuant to Congress's commerce clause powers, and only to the extent that they do not materially burden the right for law-abiding people to acquire firearms.

                      | 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) |  |  |
