They aren't "current" because they aren't correct.No, the figures aren't current because the NRA opposes keeping data on gun show sales.And don't think I didn't see that little slight of hand. Your first statement was "40% of the weapons sold are sold with no backround checks at all", and now that ...

Hello! I'm a Liberal. Never denied that fact. That's just it. There is no law requiring a backround check for guns bought on the secondary market (gun shows, internet, private sales...etc.). That's not the point. It is illegal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. That is the point....

They aren't "current" because...

Oh, look: The swishy little revisionist uses one photo tell tell two lies:1. That we invaded Iraq to "liberate the wimmin-folf" - a fabrication;It was one of many reasons, as you and I have gone over before, you know, when you flee the debate for a while and then come back saying the same crap, like...
