Congressional Hearing on Gun Violence

[BuffCyclist]

I have to say, there are really a lot of excellent points being brought up.

What I love is that they point out that a Remington 870, the basic go-to shotgun for anyone, would be banned by Feinstein's bill because it can come from the factory with a 7rd mag tube (though I thought it was a 6 in the tube, + 1 in chamber, which isn't technically a mag tube with a capacity of 7rds).

Though its quite ridiculous how they have to make it so obvious about "by definition, criminals do not follow the laws" showing how gun control will not reduce gun violence.

Oh freaking come on! We have to remember what this is about, girl scout troops losing members, because its all about the kids. How many adults are shot yearly? How many adults are members of clubs/groups that are shot and killed.

Really? 40% of gun sales take place at gun shows?

Using the internet to buy guns, absolutely ridiculous because they don't bring up that it has to be shipped to an FFL only, which by law requires a background check. Oh thank God, these panel members are very well prepared and correcting the misunderstandings about internet sales.

"And we're simply trying to close these loopholes". Really? Then why are you bringing up magazine capacities and criminals circumventing laws.
