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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
