The way things are currently, in the legislature, I would not be surprised if this bill made it to the Senate. I am a member of NRA and have a concealed weapons permit. I have grave concerns about this bill. Although a background check is made when applying for a CWP I also want a second check to be made at the time a weapon is purchased. If a person, with a CWP, commits a felony after receiving the CWP there is no way to ensure that the felony conviction will cancel the CWP automatically. Therefore, I believe that a second check is necessary at the time of weapons purchase. The minor inconvenience of this second check far outweighs the possibility of a felon obtaining a weapon. In addition, I am for increased control of assault weapons sales (AR-15, AK-47 etc..). There is really no reason for owning such a weapon unless you are participating as a member of the military in a conflict. The problem is that once any type of control is enacted it is only a short step to total control and registration. I am absolutely not for this type of big brother control of my life. In fact, should this occur, I will guarantee that gun sales will go underground and the condition will be worse than it currently is. So the House and Senate must use due diligence, and common sense, when determining gun control issues. Antagonists would say that it is yet another violation of the second amendment to the constitution......that is in fact a huge stretch of the imagination. We are no longer a militia but do deserve the right to keep and bear lawful arms lawfully. Especially in light of the current state of cuts to law enforcement budgets nationally. Someone has to protect our families and if government can't we will.
