Tens of thousands of guns go missing from dealer inventories each year

13. No, I didn't!

I was pointing out how the NRA sponsored "Tiahrt Amendments" allows lax record keeping and inventory controls.

Now WHY would the NRA push for rules like that?

I'd recommend you do some research into the Tiahrt Amendments and see why the NRA pushed them so hard.

"In 2002, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo killed 11 people in the Washington, DC area with a sniper rifle that had gone missing from Bull’s Eye Shooter Supply in Tacoma, WA. That gun was one of many -- the store was later determined to have lost track of 238 guns over a three-year period. It was only after the horrifying shooting spree was over that the dealer’s license was revoked in 2003."

The loss of the 238 guns from Bull's Eye Shooter Supply would NEVER have been discovered without the capture of the murder weapon and it being traced back to them. And that's a bit late (after the fact)....... don't ya' think?
