    Democrats see this and think: if we can't stop crazies from getting guns through UBC, then we need to outlaw guns altogether.

    You win the internet for the day.

    Just like Obamacare was deliberately crafted to fail so that people would clamor for "single payer" healthcare, all gun legislation is purposely intended to be ineffective so that the general public is eventually forced to conclude that the only solution is outright prohibition and confiscation.

    In my day, officers pretty much phoned in the range days other than the junior Lt stuck as OIC. Badged experts too, all of them lol.

    Was going to say the same.

    Dangerous territory.

    If there is one thing we are all in agreement with, Democrat and republican alike: gun laws simply do not work.

    I think they do what they are intended to do, but not at all what they claim.

    That's the thing. We're better off letting the public think that background checks do work.

    No. We are better off following the Constitution and BoR, and stopping all this infringement upon our rights, and invasions of our privacy for law abiding citizens.

    All in good time. We can't make an assault on the enemy capital until we push past the beach. That's why we keep losing. We want everything and we want it now. It took us 50+ years of leftist infringement to get where we are, and we're not going to get it back overnight.

    We need to start with the major infringements, get them thrown out, then we can work our way to things like background checks.
