The first thing I learned that – you’ve got to be kidding me – is that 40% of guns in this country are bought without a background check.


Someone is drinking 90s koolaid.

That the ATF doesn’t have computerized records.


"I'm shocked that guns don't have to be registered".

That the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was banned from researching this as a public health issue.


Advocacy only, not research, but its nice to see the big lie in action.

Chicago has a mass shooting every other week.


Somebody didn't read the whole thing before posting, I guess. Or is it just an nra talking point?


I think a lot of gun owners join the NRA because they get deals, they get discounts.





And then she lies about a gun group:

To me, the Virginia Citizens Defense League represents that very small fringe of gun owners that don’t support really any gun safety measures.




This 'piece' linked to in the OP, is the latest regurgitation of all the usual talking points.
