I want to expand this thought. It is also a Federal offense for convicted felons to TRY to buy a gun. Thousands are refused, by background checks, every year. Although it's a violation of Federal law, the number of people prosecuted for this felony is, ZERO.

Don't talk to me about new gun laws until you show me you really want to solve the problem by enforcing the thousands already on the books.
