"The person that bought the guns that killed our sons, he bought the gun in a tavern, the same tavern that he killed our sons at," said Beverly Anderson, the mother of one of the shooting victims.1. As far as I know, "taverns" aren't in the business of selling guns. I don't see how the tavern owner could be responsible for something that happens in a shadowy corner of his place where it looks like two people are just having something to drink. The next step, of course, will be to prosecute the property owner on which such a thing took place without his knowledge or consent.
When their son's killer brought [sic] that gun, the tavern didn't do a background check. It didn't have to. Private gun sales in Wisconsin do not have to go through the background check process.
For three years, these woman [sic] have worked with state Sen. Spencer Coggs (D-Milwaukee) to close, what they call, a loophole in the law.
2. Criminals--gang members, conspiring murderers--will of course not be affected by this law (the criminal loophole). If they are planning on committing murder with the gun, why would they worry about how they buy it? I realize this is a fact that is pointed out time and time again with little effect to the gun grabbers, but that doesn't make it any less of a cold, hard, ugly truth.
3. One of the major backers for this new exercise in tyranny is Mick Beatovic, "a lifelong member of the NRA" and owner of Badger Ammo. When this law is passed, as it undoubtedly will be in such a freedom-loving place as Milwaukee, those gun owners who do wish to follow the law will then be required to execute the transaction through the medium of a government-sanctioned "licensed dealer" such as Mick. Mick will then, of course, charge a fee for this encroachment on their liberty. No conflict of interest there, is there, Mick?
P.S. What "authorized journalist" wrote this? It's full of spelling errors, misused words and extraneous commas. My high school English teacher would have ridiculed me in front the entire class if I had turned in an assignment that looked like this.
