Jihadi got his gun from where?

Post by Jered »

Five years before he was shot to death in the failed terrorist attack in Garland, Texas, Nadir Soofi walked into a suburban Phoenix gun shop to buy a 9-millimeter pistol.
Soofi's attempt to buy a gun caught the attention of authorities, who slapped a seven-day hold on the transaction, according to his Feb. 24, 2010, firearms transaction record, which was reviewed by the Los Angeles Times. Then, for reasons that remain unclear, the hold was lifted after 24 hours, and Soofi got the 9-millimeter.
Background checks don't work.

Plus it was a Fast and Furious gun.

Aw geeze, what a good conspiracy theorist could (and probably will) do with this...

This is a bad can of worms to be peeling back the lid on.

Is there ever a good can of worms?

Right now, the back ground check must state whether or not a purchase is DENIED. The argument set forth here would only make it so the background check now denies by default, and must specifically ALLOW.

What good would that do when ATF/FBI forces a check through when they know the purchaser isnt't legally able to buy?(i.e. Fast and Furious).

On the other hand I think we can say that Fast and Furious rises to Treason constitutionally.

Being able to buy/ possess a gun would go from a constitutional right to the "may issue" of commie concealed carry permits. The end game for "reasonable restrictions" on the Second Amendment.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
