I can't speak for every Federal District, but gun prosecutions in my area, the Southern District of Georgia, are on the rise, not wane. Typically if a convicted felon is caught with a firearm the case is prosecuted by both state and federal jurisdictions with the state deferring to the Feds once the plea is entered in District Court. Today I visited at the local jail a 21 year-old, non-violent felon, who received a sentence of 92 months to serve with a 3 year supervised release. The state has dropped prosecution. This was the second time he was caught with a gun. This time he was caught driving a bicycle at night without a headlight and a gun was found in his backpack. He will serve every minute of the 92 months with credit for good time not to exceed 45 days for each year of sentence.
The Feds want solid cases before they accept prosecution. Weaker cases are left to the state to prosecute. Gil

Not more laws, we need simple enforcement of what is on the books

I.e.

Prosecuting felons who attempt to buy

Cross referencing mentally disabled with ATF databases

Long sentences instead of minor plea bargains for straw purchasers

I could go on

This administration wants image over substance. I.e illegal aliens (futre democrat voters) kill far more Americans than rifles do annually by significant multiples

how many more enforcement officers cold be hired with the money spent on the proposed refugee influx. muslims want to end our way of life in the west that is all there is to it.so lets bring hundreds of thousand of them here.King how come you never give the details when you post

What details, mc? There's not a soul here who doesn't know how this is going to turn out.

Interesting NYT editorial today "Congress vs the States on guns" which says, in part:

"Yet Congress has refused time and again to help protect Americans from rampant gun violence, and so it has fallen on state lawmakers to address this national crisis. Some state and local governments have banned or restricted certain types of ammunition, or prohibited classes of people, like those convicted of multiple instances of drunken driving, from possessing guns. Others have imposed universal background checks and safe-storage requirements on gun owners."

No wonder there are 20,000 gun laws, as Jim says, or so many and successful challenges to the "inalienable right" of the Second.

Actually, Jagermeister stole the quote above from the anti-gun troll King Brown. I suppose that may be why he put it in quotation marks. He should attribute it to his fellow troll.

King also said this:



And this:



It really bothers King that we prefer to keep our Constitutional freedoms rather than surrender them to his fellow Leftist Liberals. Even when shown that the U.S. has far from the highest homicide rate of any developed nation, he kept repeating the same false information. He, Jagermeister, and Ed Good never wish to acknowledge that terrorists with box cutters killed almost 3000 people on 9-11. Nor do they ever have a comment about the 1991 mass murder at the Happy Land Dance Club in NYC where an enraged patron who was thrown out bought a dollars worth of gasoline and doused the only staircase leading into the club, and lit it on fire. 87 young people were killed... without any guns.

They never comment about the 1927 Bath School massacre either, the worst in U.S. history, where 38 children and 7 adults were killed... without guns.

King swears up and down that he is not anti-gun or anti-2nd Amendment, yet threads like this show where he stands every time. It sure isn't on the side of an Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

When someone does evil.........the automatic response of liberals is to try and take away the civil liberties of law abiding citizens.

Whoa there, 1cdog. Liberals and conservatives collectively and democratically strive to diminish bad things in public and private affairs.

Republicans have chosen a presidential candidate to take away civil liberties while other Republicans are trying to remove him.

Democrats have chosen a leader excoriated by millions of Democrats led by old socialist Bernie Sanders.

Virtue doesn't rest easily anywhere. Liberty will win in November. Chosen by conservatives and liberals.

Syrian nationals, while they are in Syria or Turkey or Greece, have no civil rights in the US. Temporarily banning refugees from failed states with large ISIS demographics does not diminish the rights of US citizens.

Illegal aliens do not have the civil rights of citizens. Citizens cannot be deported. Illegal aliens can. That has been the law here for a hundred years.

Foreign nationals have no right to come to the US. The proposed "wall" does nothing to diminish the civil rights of our citizens.

Mrs. Clinton's website and rhetoric make clear she is intent on suppressing the Second Amendment rights of our citizens.
