A review by the Government Accountability Office determined that 247 people on the watch list bought guns last year, and also showed that between 2004 and 2009, more than nine out of ten individuals on the list who tried to buy guns succeeded.

strengthening background checks is only logical


they reviewed what happened for the purpose of not making the same mistake again...

I was reading recently Michigan or Minnesota defunded their dmv because they were afraid it would be used for such a purpose. the people in this country have lost their minds.

1 person can cause havoc. So, if the list is accurate, wouldn't that be alarming to some people?
