Sounds less like "slipping through the fingers of law enforcement" than "incompetence".
Call your representatives. Demand they make a federal law making it illegal for any criminal to break the law. That ought to solve our problems - another law.
Shhhh!
Don't give the liberals any ideas. They don't have any of their own and they don't understand sarcasm. They'll think you're serious. I've seen so many bills introduced in Congress, that had appeared as sarcasm on a FR post a few months earlier, that I am convinced that many of the Dems troll FR for ideas, but aren't smart enough to distinguish sarcasm from rational thought.
If the Dems introduce a bill in the next session to make it illegal to break the law, it'll be your fault.
And the Libs would have us believe that even though tons of illegal drugs enter America every day, the smugglers will never bring guns.
With this type of reasoning why isn't GM held accountable for the Chevy they were driving ? Mrs Potato Head Brady was begging for money the other day............I guess I'll donate some to NRA-GOA-SAS-Texas State Rifle Association ect ect and write my polidiots and nooooze presstitutes as to why I do such.
Stay Safe Miss Pie !~
Would post the full article instead of excerpt. I will not read nor comply with giving my personal informaiton to a scumbag like the new york times.
Here! Here! Absoposilutely!
The NY Slimes uses the information that they gather at their login to boost their readership and thus their advertising rates. Newspapers make NO money (none - nada - zilch) off of their subscriptions. Their income is based solely on advertising, which is a product of subscriptions and street sales. Every time that you login to their web site, it boosts their readership and thus, their advertising rates.
Those who feel that they just must login to the NY Slimes or other liberal media sites, should at least, mark their household income as "under $20,000" and their job as "other". Advertisers know that they can't sell nearly as much to those at or below the poverty line, as they can to someone who makes a good living.
Also, most large media corporations that collect your email address and tell you that they will not sell your email address to any outside company, usually don't tell you that they have numerous subsidiaries (often including an ad agency or two) that they freely share that data with. Although I can't say if the NY Slimes does this, it is a very common practice in all areas of the news and entertainment media. You give them your email address, in confidence and a few weeks later, you start getting a whole bunch of spam. But, backtrack the spammer and check his ownership and you will often find that it's the parent company of the media source that you gave your email address to. They have complied with their very carefully worded privacy policy. Sly b^$t^rd$.
BTW, speaking of spam, I recently installed and can wholeheartedly recommend iHateSpam, by Sunbelt Software. While looking for the name of the company a moment ago, I ran across an interesting counter in the software. It seems that since I installed it (set to the default "medium" detection level), only 9 or 10 spams (my count) have made it into my mailbox, while iHateSpam caught and quarantined 1597 spams (from the counter - make that 1599, since it just reported two more), without a single valid email being quarantined. I used to scan the quarantine folder once a week for possible valid email, but having never found one, I no longer do even that. Furthermore, I set it to bounce the spam that it catches and I am just now noticing a significant reduction in the amount of reported spams that it reports. I really don't like the idea of letting the spammers know that I have iHateSpam installed, by bouncing spam, since by doing so, I am allowing them so spend their money and bandwidth on more productive addresses. But on the other hand, if enough people would do that, it would cut down on the overall Internet bandwidth usage and eventually make spamming unprofitable. I forget what I paid for it. But, it was cheap.
At any rate, like you, I have never logged in to the NY Slimes or any other blatantly liberal newspaper web site and I never will. I don't want to be responsible for them making even one extra penny.
And now he has been arrested for that violation and will doubtless be punished for it.
Sure sounds similar to White Trash Kathleen Kennedy Townsend calling for more gun control, while she did nothing to insure there wereadequate background checks in Maryland. Of course, KKT is White Trash, she is a Kennedy.
WHAT?? HE LIED ON FORM 4473??? INCREDIBLE!!
What's this world coming to when criminal snipers don't fill out the forms correctly?

Face it, our entire "record" system is a shambles. Have you had a credit report done lately???? I used to run a credit bureau back in the stone age...we were many times more precise with paper and pen.
My husband loves to bird hunt, this particular year Browning had come out with a new shotgun with a gold trigger, so I decided to buy one for his Christmas. Then I decided to buy two because I felt another family member would love to have one also. So I did, I bought two of them. A little time went by and I got a call from the F.B.I. An agent was asking me about the serial numbers things like that. When I said that I would have to call him back when my husband got home because I wasn't sure where he kept his paper work on the gun, the agent freaked a little bit.
He thought he had been talking to the store where I bought the guns, and didn't realize he was talking to the gun buyer. Someone had mistakenly switched phone numbers on the form between my number and the store number.
He was really angry about it. So when you say that these background checks usually stay in state, it makes me wonder. Is it the F.B.I. that checks your criminal background, because, if not, then perhaps I was flagged for buying two guns at one time. It would seem to me if your "friend" had been checked through the F.B.I. then his felonies would surely have shown up, if it's not normal to run the checks through the F.B.I., then why was the F.B.I. checking on my purchase?
Good to see you too, I've been away from the forum for the most part, taking care of personal business (translates=messes!!!LOL!)
There is something amiss in the scale of effort demonstrated to process the paperwork, in my opinion. If it were something large and relatively expensive or dangerous, such as a 18 wheeler truck or a box of dynamite, I could see such individualized care being justified. But two shotguns for personal use...?
Doesn't the FBI have something more important to do, such as going after criminals?
