New Video: Background Checks Punish Minorities

Feb 26, 2019 | Featured

In association with “Free the People,” the CPRC has put together a new video on the push for background checks on the private transfer of guns.

The U.S. House is voting on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 to impose universal gun background checks. But the fact is, if these rules had been in place, they would not have prevented a single mass public shooting in recent years. Instead, they stop law-abiding citizens from owning a gun, most often poor people and minorities. Everyone wants to stop bad guys from getting guns, but universal background checks is just not an effective way to do that.

    Our 2nd Amendment shall not be infringed. Honest hard working people suffer because you politician’s have quit working for the people who elected we need to protect ourselves from you…you want to kill BABIES in the womb take away their right to life you should be ashamed of yourselves

    Guns are not required to kill people.. people kill each other everyday by intentional means with all varieties of means and methods… the common variable here is people… bad people with bad intentions usually do not abide by law…. therefore more laws will not effect the fact that people kill people…. and means and methods will always just be means and methods… js
