In 1991, California simultaneously imposed comprehensive background checks for firearm sales and prohibited gun sales (and gun possession) to people convicted of misdemeanor violent crimes. The legislation mandated that all gun sales, including private transactions, would have to go through a California-licensed Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer. Shotguns and rifles, like handguns, became subject to a 15-day waiting period to make certain all gun purchasers had undergone a thorough background check.
More than a quarter of a century later, researchers at Johns Hopkins and UC Davis dug into the results of the sweeping legislation.
Guys, you know better. [u]These laws ARE having the desired effect. It’s keeping law abiding citizens from buying as many guns. THAT is the ultimate goal.[/u] The “control” that they want on guns is total. If they get their way, we will be lucky to own lever action rifles, pump action shotguns, and revolvers. Until they decide to take those too.
Remember, we are debating an ideology. Fact’s don’t matter. It’s all about feelings and emotion. Gun control to the grabbers is the same as “climate change” is to the greenie-socialists. The grabbers and the global warming crowd tend to be the same… It’s become a religion. Facts do not matter, it’s what they believe in that counts.
