1. I don't know anyone...

..who has ever purchased a gun without a background check.

I have purchased guns from gun stores, police supply stores, gun shows and private dealers.

Background check at each and every purchase.

FWIW... the lowest ranking states according to 'Law Center to...' (the states they do not like due to 'weak' gun control laws) are also those with the safest (lowest crime) statistics according to the FBI crime report. *

Conversely, the 'Law Center to.......' highest ranking (their favorite) states are the ones with the most dangerous FBI statistics, or at least they contain cities with very high crime - and peaceful rural areas - such as New York.

New York gets as 'A minus' (the last time I checked) presumably they do not get an 'A plus' because after a 6 month background check by 3 different agencies (local, state, federal) the most rural counties in NY actually grant permission to carry a handgun. I suppose the 'Law Center to....' would prefer if the state just went full-on NYC or New Jersey and refused carry licenses outright.

You really have to love the anti-freedom types, don't you?

*Yes, I know. there are several southern states that do not fit that paradigm, I will admit. However the entire 'northern tier' of our nation (which is where I have spent most of my life and done most of my traveling) certainly does.
