10. Suicide 91
11. Firearm Injury 85
12. Liver Disease 75
13. Alcohol induced death 60
14. Parkinsons 54
15. Assault (Homicide) 51

Homicide was #15, Motor Vehicle Accidents #6, maybe this guy and NBC should do an investigation into Automobiles?? If this guy and NBC were so concerned maybe after their first "buy", why didnt they notify the local authorities and have them arrested instead of letting them go on to sell and distribute again.
This reminds me of a paper I wrote in college about firearm safety and the low fatality rate. The professor would NOT accept the paper because of the firearm issue. So I re-wrote a paper on vehicle fatality rate, she ACCEPTED that paper. go figure.

Who would you have the police arrest. The sellers were doing nothing wrong by law. This was done more to push the anti-gun agenda then pointing out the loophole. Sensationalism is what sells. Closing this loophole will only keep the honest gun sellers honest. It will not stop criminals from buying guns. Locking them up and carying out capital punishment will. I could care less if the prisons are over crowded. Too bad so sad.
 
I'm not saying that the sellers did anything wrong by law. If this Rossen guy is trying to sensationalise gun sales in parking lots then he is off to a great start. The name of his report was "Anyone can buy guns, no questions asked". and anyone can buy crack, dope, marijauna, or anything else. He used this "report" to try to show how "bad" guns are, and then he mentions how many people are murdered everyday by guns, and mentions a glock bought with hollow points made to inflict serious internal damage. then he talks about a canadian guy who bought a gun and killed someone. If I remember right, Didnt Mr. Kennedy killed someone while behind the wheel while intoxicated? (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm sure that person died of serious internal damages. The point I was trying to make was if Rossen is so concerned about peoples safety, why dont he make a real report on something that has a higher daily death rate, instead of trying to bring down gun ownership and our legal rights. I used the example of automobile fatalities to make my point. this rossen guy ranks right down there with Brady, Fienstein, and all of their antis friends.
Thats ANOTHER issue, if prisons are over crowded, why arent punishments being carried out in a timely fashion since they were found guilty by a group of 12. A death sentence should mean exactly that, instead people are sitting on death row on the peoples dime getting 3 squares a day, medical, exercise. AND WHY?? because they have "rights"? what about the victims rights while they were being assualted?
Maybe rossen needs to make a report on why death sentences are not being carried out.
 
I wonder how many guns sold like this end up in the hands of real criminals. I think less than the number that ended in the hands of criminals, thanks to the BTAFE and their wonderful FAST and FURIOUS plan. Is NBC talking about Fast and Furious? Yet, nobody had gone to jail on that either. Might have something to do with Barack Hussein Obama appointed Eric Holder.

Reason #348: Why Barack Hussein Obama must be a one term President.
 
You can be at a gun show looking at a table manned by an FFL gunshop and watch people purchase and then sit down and fill out the necessary paperwork for said purchase; whether the paperwork serves any real purpose, especially when questions like "are you an illegal alien?" or "are you a convicted felon" are on the paper, waiting for "no" answers. At the next table you can see a guy sitting with a gun for sale or you can be walking around as some guy comes by you holding a rifle or a gun case with a "for sale" sign on it---neither of these people are FFL dealers; in these cases you can hand him the money, he gives you the firearm and off you go. Does this make any sense? The answer is that it does because it is not illegal--it might not be the most sensible of firearm related acts but it is legal. The reason, IMO, that the NRA, for example, will stand up to the Bradys of the world, who use this as an example of a broken system, is the fact that they and I and I am sure you do not trust these Bradys one iota. You give them less than an inch on any gun argument or change in the law and they will take more than a mile. They, like the progressive liberal turds out there, just know better than you and I and their "end justifies the means". Interestingly that the last quote is the hallmark of communism--"the end justifies the means".
 
Didn't mean to push your button swsd40, but we are on the same page. We can make all the laws we want but criminals will still be criminals. The liberal wack jobs that push this kind of stuff want us to believe these criminals are the true victims and we must understand it's not their fault. It's the rich and/or capitalism that is at fault. A death sentence how cruel. Of course it ok to execute the unborn, but that's a different issue. Keeping criminals locked up and in crowded conditions, how cruel. Liberals are all about these poor victims.
 
There are a lot of people who even with the process they use to sell a firearm is fully legal, and they have no real legal reason to ask or even care if someone can or cannot pass a background check, or inquire what they plan on doing with the firearm. They IMHO are pushing us honest firearm owners closer to the Government making the sale of private owned firearms under the control of the Government.
NBC as everyone should know with old Matt leading the stories about all the bad stories regarding firearms and firearm owners, has powerful people with lots of money backing them.
It's just another item of some people even though they are doing nothing that is not legal, still are doing a lot of harm.
Sadly I see the day coming that we have another full scale firearm ban in effect again, and the sale of private firearms will be controlled with background checks required.
 
more of the Brady agenda

my first thought as I read this was who funded it... 50BMG rifles cost a lot - $5,000-&15,000, and I doubt a "internet buy" gets any discount... this article is full of half truths and incorrect statements and is clearly written to play on people's fear of guns (what happened to "journalistic integrity"?)... no doubt a 50 cal rifle will "bring down a heliocopter" - so will a rock or a bird... and stating that the "range" of a 50 is 5 miles is both incorrect (a round will travel a little over 4 miles if fired with a high trajectory like an artillery piece - to put it in perspective, a .22LR will go a mile and a half that way) and misleading, as the effective range is about 2,000 yards (in the hands of a skilled marksman)... anyone who has fired a rifle will appreciate how difficult it is to even see a target at half that distance, let alone hit it... it's just too bad the time and money that went into this wasn't used on real problems...

He needed that paper to pass his college degree. Now that I am not in the same position, I can the question: why is it that some people are icky about the mention of "guns"?
 
I don't know what the laws are in other states, but in NC, the buyer must either 1) have a Concealed Carry permit, or 2) obtain a "Pistol Permit" from the sherrif in his county. It is illegal for anyone, including private citizens, to sell a handgun to anyone who doesn't have one or the other of those 2 documents.

A "Pistol Permit" only authorizes the holder to buy a handgun; it does not grant any authority to carry a concealed handgun. And the seller must collect the pistol permit from the buyer, as a seperate permit is required for each habdgun purchased.

Again, CC permit holders are exempt from the psitol permit requirement.

I wonder that myself. Are they also icky with hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, shovels, tire irons, golf clubs, knives, ball bats etc? My sister and niece came for a visit a few years ago and my niece was interested in shooting so I mentioned I could take her to a local indoor range and she could shoot mine and so my sister interjected and said her father should be the one to teach her and I said 1. Where is he? and 2. he doesn't own any and doesn't know the first thing about them so why should he be the one? I have several she could try and the experience to teach her the correct way. Damn did that piss me off. My sister unfortunately is one of those "guns are icky" people and mainly due to lack of understanding and the fascist media
