Re: Usual Crap for Press Attention
So true, in 2011, prosecutions were down by over 40%. If government won't enforce the laws we have, why would anyone think they are going to enforce more laws?
National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), which found in 2010, of 6 million Americans who applied to buy a gun, less than 2 percent -- or 76,000 -- were denied. Of those, the ATF referred 4,732 cases for prosecution. Of them, just 44 were prosecuted, and only 13 were punished for lying or buying a gun illegally.
