Why is the NRA aggressively trying to repeal the Brady Law (background checks), which since 1994 has prevented more than 1.3 million prohibited purchasers from getting guns? ...So there have been 1.3 million prosecutions and convictions, right?
It's time for the gun lobby to come to the table and meet us at least halfway in passing common-sense gun laws...
As for NRA aggressively trying to repeal Brady, they did fight the waiting period and unfunded mandates to local law enforcement, but supported and proposed inputs to the "instant check" system. The Association's official position, in a nutshell:
The NRA`s membership of more than four million persons, has a strong interest in the proper implementation of the provisions of law concerning the acquisition of firearms by law-abiding citizens and the prevention of such acquisition by violent criminals.That isn't "halfway" enough for you, Diane?
