Brady Act and the Lautenberg Amendment is costing lives

12:05am Friday, December 07, 2007

By Tim Inwood On November 15th I was interviewed by Eric Flack of Channel 5 news in Cincinnati. In the course of preparing for his biased news report , he asked me a tired clichéd question: “Wouldn’t it be worth it if it saves one life to extend background checks to all gun sales ?” The question was pertaining to forcing all gun sales to go through a Brady background check at the gun shows...
