Mayor Barrett, Victims' Families Want Better Gun Buyer Background Checks

Testimony and data reveal faulty background checks for some gun purchasers have caused unneeded deaths and suffering, according to a fine posting by Bill Christofferson.

A national "traveling campaign is in the state until Thursday," he writes.

"Details about the route and the campaign are at www.FixGunChecks.org  You can sign the petition and join the campaign there, too."

Faulty background checks have caused unneeded death and suffering? Wow, that is a new one. I always assumed it was the guy pulling the trigger who caused these problems. To think how uninformed I have been on this issue!

Of course there is also the false assumption that the perpetrator would not have found other means to procure a firearm, but that is another day's topic...

Nice attitude. I guess you read the victims' statements carefully.
