On Wednesday, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that former President Barack Obama's Department of Justice forced the FBI to delete over 500,000 fugitives, who had outstanding arrest warrants, from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).

Considering the so called gun show loopholes, they don't exist because the sellers must have FFL licenses to sell, and keep books on their sales, or they go to jail. Every State has gun laws and most of them are reasonable. You do know that States can set their carry laws and registration laws. You may think the 2nd only allowed flintlocks like I have heard many politicians say, and that's untrue it meant the state of the art military weapons available to the troops. Starting in the 1930's the Federal Government put a tax on military automatic weapons that was so high at that time only the bootleggers could pay it. 

The other thing the Progressive Gun Grabbers seem to forget is the 2nd Amendment is the Symbol of our Liberty and Freedom. Consider this, a Flame thrower military grade is legal for any citizen to own (look it up) but the Military is forbidden to use them anymore. Thje bottom line is we live in an imperfect and dangerous world. We need to be able to protect ourselves from criminals and mental cases who have access to deadly force.

Here is another fun fact you might not know; A person who has a concealed permit to carry and has to use his gun to defend himself will be arrested, and the shooting will be thoroughly investigated to see if the shooter did anything illegal before they are released.Even Police are taken off duty and put at a desk until their shooting is fully investigated. No exceptions.

You speak of regressives and I am assuming you mean the Conservatives in the GOP. If I am wrong about that please correct me. I will cite some of the things I see or have seen. First was Madelyn Murray O'Hare and school prayer. That even stopped people who wanted to pray and not force others to pray with them or accept or coheres/force them to convert to their religion. Taking the ten commandments out of the law when it was those commandments that created the common laws in the first place. Bear in mind the commandments in a strictly non religious sense are the blueprint for a workable society.The break down of the pornography laws and restrictions in the 1970's added to the disrespect of women and stripped them of their dignity making them objects instead of people (Think Flint and Penthouse case). At one time there was a consensus of opinion on proper comportment in public, that was broken down by the hippie generation in the 1960's. All of these things came to pass under the aegis of Progressive/Democrat leadership.
