Another Useless Gun Law

Chris Murphy (D-CT) has introduced a bill that he, himself admits would have done NOTHING to stop the Las Vegas shooter. His bill would call for background checks to be expanded from retail sales to private sales. Of course, the Las Vegas shooter, who had no previous criminal record, PASSED several background checks when he LEGALLY bought his guns. In any case, all background checks do is keep such people (IF thy have a criminal record) from buying guns LEGALLY. So, of course, they will then buy them ILLEGALLY. Background checks, in any case, have proven to be completely INEFFECTIVE in stopping any of MANY mass shootings. They're a waste of time, and add to the travails suffered by law-abiding people in buying guns for self defense. As are "gun-free zones." Just about every mass shooting, including that in Las Vegas, were done IN "gun-free zones." Convicted mass shooters ADMIT that they PREFER gun-free zones in which to do their dirty work. (Breitbart)
