The police chief of the Milwaukee called out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) — an opponent of gun safety regulation — for echoing National Rifle Association talking points about the uselessness of expanding background checks for all gun purchases. The organization argues that the government should enforce existing laws instead.
During a heated exchange at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) proposed assault weapons ban on Wednesday, Edward Flynn pointedly interrupted Graham’s claims that the federal government is failing to deter individuals from misrepresenting themselves in the background check process by failing to prosecute people who were rejected from purchasing a weapon as a result of their false claims. 
that would make a diffrence if those not intentionally included for what ever reason then NRA continues to profit if they do instigate pursuing the law to it's end profits drop along with already approval ratings.
Flynn argued that rather than embark on a “paper chase,” law enforcement officials are focused on preventing people from purchasing guns illegally, eliciting loud applause from the audience:
we already know a majority 'the criminals won't participate"of Americans gun clubbers too are for atleast background checks, but then republicans come in with the scare tactics first  "the gov't is just trying to put you on a list" big brother?  and we all shudder and crap our pants, truth is if you are not a criminal or have nothing to hide what the fuss, suppose one of yours is murdered do you just say oh well can't trace the gun or match bullets, ior do you thank God there is a law that may provide a way to bring them justice?
