I'm telling you the gun lobby better start negotiating for a compromise or we are going to get gun control that represents one side of the argument only. The worm has turned and there is enough public support now to make gun control a political imperative.If gun owners simply refuse to engage it's going to be a worse outcome for gun owners.Don't shoot the messenger.I'm a gun owner myself.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5tNCFQhQco

As I say too,it is a slippery slope-they win one easy victory,say like they did in my state,imposing an extra 25 dollar "violence tax" on every gun sale,this emboldens them to go for a bit more.They DID want to tax every bullet sold in my state,UNTIL the law makers were informed that you needed a FOID card to buy ammo...THEY DID NOT KNOW THIS!!I am happy to engage,and educate,and work toward a real solution, but this sort of utter ignorance,fear,and unwillingness to even listen is what gun grabbers are pushing me to say no compromise can be reached with utter fools.
City investigators posing as illegal purchasers asked five sellers to meet in person to exchange cash for guns. All five agreed, selling investigators four handguns and a semi-automatic assault rifle while being recorded with hidden cameras.Among the findings: 62 percent of private gun sellers -- 77 of 125 online sellers contacted -- agreed to sell a firearm to a buyer who said he probably couldn't pass a background check. Besides Craigslist, unlicensed sellers also offered arms at alarmingly high rates with no questions asked at Armslist, Gunlistings, Glocktalk and the classified section of Utah news website KSL.com. Sellers in five Southern states -- Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia -- were the worst offenders, followed closely by dealers in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Texas. Midwest sellers have the best record, with 48 private sellers refusing to make illegal sales.The report recommended Congress pass a long-stalled bill that would close the online and gun show loophole to allow background checks for all gun sales, a measure the National Rifle Association has fought for years.It also said the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives should conduct sting operations against online websites that do not require buyers or sellers to identify themselves, and urged the Bureau to better track guns bought online that are later used to commit crimes. Websites such as Craigslist, it said, should tighten self-policing policies.
