The article shows lowering gun crime statistics since 1993. Sorry if it's a dupe... I was too lazy to search for another thread including this article.

"In 2004 (the most recent year of data available), among state prison inmates who possessed a gun at the time of the offense, fewer than two percent bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show," according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. "About 10 percent of state prison inmates said they purchased it from a retail store or pawnshop, 37 percent obtained it from family or friends, and another 40 percent obtained it from an illegal source."

So it's those 37% that they think SB281 will stop...even though I bet a lot of those 37% took the firearm from their family/friends to use for crimes without the knowledge of that person.

Liberals don’t care about statistics like these. It’s funny because they call us paranoid for being afraid of the government when they are equally as afraid of legal gun owning citizens.

The timing on all of this is great. The damage is done, people's minds have forever warped by the political speech and now we have this stupid law. NPR has been so Anti-2 Amedment for so long, clearly cause for the government to defund.

The 22% of liberals who are gun owners probably care.
