Tiahrt’s Folly: A Gun Safety Shocker!

While sifting through the gun safety fallout championed by  NRA-sponsored Tea Partied state and congressional elected officials and right wing pundits,  we came across video clips featuring their  typically misleading statements 1) we don't need the President’s gun safety proposals because "gun safety is already covered under the ATF" (Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), and 2)    “we don’t need new gun laws. We just need to enforce the laws on the books”!?!?!


Did you know that in 2003,  former Republican House representative Todd Tiahrt  was the author of a NRA-sponsored amendment that is still "on the books"


The Amendment...

  1. Forbids ATF trace data from being used in civil suits against gun dealers
  2. Restricts the release of ATF trace data solely to law enforcement agencies involved in “bona-fide criminal investigations’
  3. Stops the flow of regional trace data ATF used to share with police departments
  4. Requires the Justice Department to destroy records of buyers who pass FBI background checks within 24 hours
  5. Prohibits the ATF from requiring gun dealers to conduct annual inventory checks?


Did you know that NRA-sponsored Tea Partied Republican congressional members who falsely claim that "we just need to enforce the laws on the books", refuse to amend the above amendment and refuse to  vote for an ATF director!?!?!


Tiahrt's  Folly is their folly and it needs to stop!
