Post Independent Notes Gun Sales Strong in 2009, Background Checks Conducted

One complaint from the anti-gun lobby is that background checks seemingly never occur. Yet, The Post Independent in Colorado is reporting that gun sales were up in the state – no surprise there – but that background checks went off like clockwork:
“According to data from the Instacheck Unit of CBI, the office that handles statewide background check requests for any firearm transaction, the office approved 196,980 total background checks in 2008. In 2009, CBI approved 202,613, about half of which were handgun sales.”
The article adds:
“CBI has been very busy this year keeping up with the increase in background check requests. But the office has managed to keep the requests to under 30 minutes. The average time for a background check to process in December was 23 minutes, according to CBI statistics. Instacheck also reported a 3 percent increase of gun dealers using the online Instacheck verification rather than calling in on the phone, with 88 percent of total checks happening over the Internet.”
So if this is the case, why do so many in the mainstream media continue to buy the line of gun show loopholes and unregistered guns that flood the streets? Could it just be that it is a case of anti-gun hype and paranoia?
Check there tatoos if there is a gang one no gun what’s so hard about that ? If your know to hang with gangs no gun for you. This can not be that hard !!!!
