Only seven out of the 235 illegal gun sales between July 2001 and January 2002 were noticed after one day

Did everybody catch this little gem of information?

235 illegal gun sales in six months. Nationwide.

They want to invade the privacy of millions of Americans to maybe stop the sale of less than 500 guns a year. Gun sales that if stopped before transfer would likely be replaced by what I will euphemistically call a "less formal purchase." Many of those sales that are illegal merely due to the increasing number of things that have been criminalized in the past three decades, actions which used to be completely legal.

(Note also that it does not tell us how many were caught in the first two days, first week or even first month. It just says "7 in the first day," then goes on to puff up 90 days.)

The GAO may say that keeping gun records for only a day is risky, but I say,

Keeping gun records risks a police state, slavery, and genocide.

Won't it be great when we have the military out patrolling the streets and a complete list of gun owners in their hands? I always wanted to visit Berlin in the '30s ... looks like I won't need that time machine after all ...

Be careful what you say. Some TIPster may report you for not fully supporting the "war on terror."
