    Default CBI Chief's universal BGC numbers include online sales and gun show transfers

    Neither have anything to do with the new background check law passed in 2013.

    But he never told lawmakers that.

    In the six months prior to the law taking effect, 8,960 background checks labeled as private sales were conducted. And the six months before that, 8,126.

    "It's alarming that these were presented in such a way in committee to substantiate the Democrats desire to kill this bill," Senate Republican Leader Bill Cadman, of Colorado Springs, said when shown the data in full context. He said he was "extremely concerned that such misleading information would be provided as factually based testimony by the senior law enforcement professional in Colorado."
    For all of you blindly following this law, wake up.

    Help me out here. It appears as though the numbers of "private checks" has hardly changed, mostly because that number was really just gun-show and out-of-state online sales in the first place?

    It has changed, it has actually gone down. Jan 1 to July 31st of last year had 8,960 BGCs done. The CBI can't differentiate between out-of-state, private and gun show transfers. So any data regarding this law is bogus.

    Okay, that's what I was thinking. I'm really shocked that someone lied about the figures though....
