Vice President stated the following in a recent meeting that was supposed to be directed at gun violence.

"And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don't have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately."

Now a felon that attempts to purchase a firearm or falsify the reference from is suppose to server up to ten years in jail for doing so. But these felons are getting a free pass because the administration is to busy to deal with felons looking to illegally buy guns.

I have to say that this smacks of being very disingenuous when they are trying to add new bans and gun laws but claim they are too busy to keep guns away from felons and prosecute them.

Why should Americans allow believe that the government is going to act on more laws when they ignore and refuse to go after felons breaking current laws? This is nothing but an attack on law abiding citizens while giving criminals yet another pass.

I've seen numerous posters here decry the autoloading pistol for defense becuse they say it is not dependable enough and in some instance powerful enough. If you are in that catagory, can you please explain to me why the vast bulk of law enforcemtn these days carry semi auto pistols?

I've noticed on that a lot of folks here seem to assume that martial arts is the best choice for learning self defense. But is that really true? Martial Arts generaly takes several years to gain true proficiency and that's usually with several hours of practice a week. Isn't there a faster, more effecient way to learn practical self defense?
