Great editorial in the Dallas Morning News:
It's already too late for gun control to work | Commentary | Dallas News
One excellent point is that minorities are denied in error far more often than others. A liberal would call this "racist" if it weren't for the liberal mindless endorsement of gun control!
"Meanwhile, other law-abiding citizens are left in a lurch. We see that with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Its proponents boast that the system has stopped 2.4 million "prohibited purchases." But in 96 percent of these cases, the ban was dropped after the first two stages of review.
People who have been mistakenly stopped from buying guns are forced into a costly appeals process that frequently requires them to hire lawyers. These "initial denials" affect certain racial groups more than others. Hispanics are more likely to share names with other Hispanics, and the same is true of blacks. Because 30 percent of black males are forbidden to buy guns because of their criminal records, law-abiding black males are especially likely to have their names confused with those of prohibited people."
This is a really good read and gives lots of ammunition for refuting gun grabbers.
