I agree completely but the NRA seems unwilling to manage the situation at all
which makes them look obstructive and uncooperative and the anti-gun crowd is
making much hay off that. By being pro-instant check they'd take their
opponent's weapon away and make ground themselves.

Which will do not much of anything to lower the shootings and deaths
(there are plenty of laws about shooting and killing).
I read the papers around here about the daily/weekly shootings, and a
lot of the perps and vics have multiple prior arrests, many related to
guns and robberies and shootings, yet they are still walking the streets
and carrying and using (illegal) weapons after multiple catch and
release on low/no bonds, mostly because there isn't enough prison space
and the #blm folks get all upset when one of them is put away (as
opposed to "put down" unless it is white on black -- black on black
barely gets a notice). Mostly dope/gang related, somebody dissed
somebody else...
Yesterday half the Charleston PD seemed to be at a location up the road
when I drove by, appears that two YBGs had a shootout in the street
there, about 150-200yd from the middle school. Of course nobody dint
see nuffin, so they will probably be at it again when it warms up a bit
in a coupla days.
There are plenty of "gun laws" on the books, enforcement of those would
do more to cut down on the crime than anything else. These "common
sense" laws or regulations or whatever really mostly affect law-abiding
citizens, which is not generally where the problems occur. Smoke and
mirrors mostly...
This post has some interesting info and data on the local events
