.@shannonrwatts, if u read More Guns, Less Crime (Univ of Chicago Press, 2010 3rd ed), u would know that the most vulnerable people benefit the most from owning guns: the most likely victims of violent crime (poor blacks) & those weaker physically (women & elderly).

Gun control advocates are the racists, sexists, & don't want poor owning guns. When you have discretionary permits, gun control advocates give permits to wealthy, white men. Not those who need them. See LA.

You want only wealth.

Why do you, @MomsDemand & @Everytow hate the poor?
"In 2013, all but two Democrats in the Colorado House of Representatives voted against a Republican amendment to exempt impoverished individuals from a new tax on private transfers of guns."

You could easily have gun control without discriminating against minorities and poor, but you fight against getting rid of false positives in background checks. You fight against paying for the cost of background checks out of general revenue. .

If checks benefit everyone, everyone should pay. But u want the entire cost born by the poor to keep them from owning guns.
Oh, BTW, @shannonrwatts, don't forget about the dozens of refereed published papers that confirms my research in #MGLC.
