But that Anonymous commenter, I doubt if he can defend the idea that the federal check would have caught those that were screened out in Minnesota, which is exactly the point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-70439401331375041712011-01-31T16:04:32.475+01:002011-01-31T16:04:32.475+01:00Zerrro wrote :"He he--"lies."

Lies are what you call it when someone has engaged in a pattern of deliberately false statements in order to deceive. Like the claims by MN gun nuts that states - including Arizona - are safe relying on unfunded, dangerously incomplete NCIS database checks.<br /><br />Clearly, they are not.<br />So, either these guys who are gun nuts don't know the statistics - which is unliikely given the committee in question. Or they have deliberately and calculatingly misrepresented them, which seems to be the case.<br /><br />Silly zerro.

The Republicans in MN are trying to do away with any Minnesota check, and to rely ONLY on the NCIS, claiming the MN check is redundant.<br /><br />Minnesota has provided ZERO names to the NCIS for mental illness (or drug convictions either) whereas 37 failed the check in Bloomington alone (an affluent suburrb of Minneapolis). Even Gun crazy Arizona supplied between 3,000 and 4,000 to the NCIS. Minnesota - zilch.<br />North Dakota -zero. South Dakota - 1, Nebraska 1, Iowa - 24, Wisconsin- 518. <br /><br />Minnesota includes domestic violence and stalking convictions along with gun convictions as reasons not to allow someone to purchase a gun. The state check is actually more rigorous than the federal check in some constructive ways, but it is not onerous. I own my own guns through such a Minnesota check, guns obtained through a relative who has had an FFL for a couple of decades -- and who adamantly agrees BOTH background checks should continue because they work, and work well, for safety. The police organizations want to keep the current system too. Pretty much everyone except the gun nut fringies on the far right are happy with the current system.<br />ttp://penigma.blogspot.com/2011/01/republicans-in-minnesota-attempt-to.html#moredog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-6560168634237898102011-01-31T09:03:40.623+01:002011-01-31T09:03:40.623+01:00These people would NOT have been able to pass the ...These people would NOT have been able to pass the Federal instant background check. The Permit to Purchase (the background check that the Bloomington Police were doing) has to be obtained before purchasing a pistol in Minnesota. It is not until you have your permit in hand and go to your FFL that the Federal instant check is done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-82884401807358614202011-01-31T08:48:08.105+01:002011-01-31T08:48:08.105+01:00We can also see the lies put out by the gun extrem...<i>We can also see the lies put out by the gun extremists . . . </i><br><br>He he--"lies."
