"A recent study by the FBI found that out of a random sampling of various criminals booked on firearms charges , only ONE of the polled individuals had procured a gun from a gun show ."
"Maybe so , but a random sampling is far from a statistical fact of any kind . And remember , I am against any government intervention that makes it more difficult for law abiding people to own as many weapons as they choose to own . But I do feel we must be not only more responsible today , but vigilant in our desire to make sure that criminals , illegal aliens and terrorists are not able to procure weapons through legal channels . Especially since we already know they can procure them through so many illegal channels already . What I posted above was the type of regulations that I could live with even though I 'm sure that criminals would find a way to usurp them as they do most every safeguard that 's adopted ."
