The Brady Campaign scores are out.
NE Bull:
Oh, don't I know. It's amazing what folks can do with numbers.
I USED to be "the numbers don't lie". But these folks have learned how to be uber creative with them.
Maybe it was that calculus I din't take in high school. ???
bkoenig:
The numbers don't lie, but the context they're presented in can be very misleading.
If they were honest, using their own criteria they would consider Japan to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world, since their suicide rate is the highest in the world even though guns are virtually banned. But the Brady's only care if someone commits suicide with a gun.
AAllen:
We used to have an F, but they changed the grading rules and now I need to go after entirely different issues to get us back there.
Husker_Fan:
Our handgun purchase permit is, I believe, what keeps us from flunking. They don't get that many of us like the way those kept us from having to do a background check with every 4473. Of course, I haven't had a purchase permit since I got my CHP.

What I like about it is that the Federal NICS system can go down or offline and I am not prevented from making a purchase or forced to stand in line waiting for an approval and bypasses all waiting periods. What I don't like is that local PD's can try and put more restrictions on the process , even in violation of the Federal and/or state laws that govern the issuance of the purchase permit.
So, I would like to see it become optional to get pre -approval , or choose to go through NICS and the waiting period for each purchase.
That allows for a choice and lets those that believe the purchase permit is an infringement avoid that issue.
I think most would agree that working through the NICS system and waiting period is a much greater infringement than obtaining a purchase permit every 3 years or 5 years with a CHP
