The Seattle Times ran an opinion piece suggesting the flawed National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) meant to facilitate background checks before firearms sales will not work correctly as long gun sales by a “private party” are allowed.
Ironically, every gun transaction in the US between 1791 and 1998 has been a “private party” sale, even if the sale took place inside a retailer. The Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. 1998 was the year the NICS system was implemented under the auspices of the Brady Act.
And now, after a decade and a half of public attackers passing a NICS check to acquire their guns, we are told the system will not work unless private sales are eliminated. Read more of the Seattle Times’ rant on the next page.
sounds like a state that forgot about the 2nd amendment
stopping sales of guns will not make jobs, stopping gun sales will not eliminate the drug dealer, stopping gun sales will not make people feel better about themselves or eliminate any of the personal problems that drive people to use any weapon to lash out at others and even hurt themselves….but I guess it is easy to blame an inanimate object for something that our government is responsible for. The failure to sustain an decent job market and balanced cost of living to income ratio…and control of inflation …and the other things that keep Americans happy..
seattle is becomming the spinter muscle of the northwest
Seattle is a Sanctuary City so this ban will insure that only criminal illegal aliens will possess a gun. This amounts to Obamas “civilian militia” he suggested this country needed a while back.
It’s spreading if the public doesn’t wake up to truth.
Have you heard of 594?
A rig of a newspaper.
F–k Seattle !!!!!!
I sure hope the bad guys get that memo since all the gun free zones are the biggest gun crime zones. Disarming the good guys won’t keep the bad guys from bringing in their guns.
would turn seattle into chicago style killing fields
