The polls show that a majority of voters support stricter gun regulations, such as: more stringent background checks, closing gun show loopholes, waiting periods for purchasing a handgun, and ending sales of assault-style weapons. So, if that’s what voters want, why can’t we get the legislation that reflects those views? Well, we can; if voters would vote their conscience, and vote for the candidates that support those views. It’s fairly easy folks! Remember those “connect the dot” activity books we had as kids? Just connect the dots. There is NO DAMN WAY that someone who is deemed to be “too dangerous” to board an airplane should be able to buy weapons in the United States! A Register-Mail article of Dec 8th stated, “The Government Accountability Office concluded that membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives under current federal law”. Really?! Shouldn’t they be considered just as dangerous as a domestic abuser or an ex-con? That’s the kind of legislation that needs to be changed, by Congress — by a Congress that has the greater good of the populace in mind (instead of how big a kickback they can get from the NRA).
