The problem that the media utterly ignores is that the Obama administration <i>does nothing with the failed checks it has NOW.</i><p>In 2010, for example, there were over 73,000 gun purchase attempt denials[1], of which <i>over 48,000[1] were known to be felons and&#x2F;or fugitives from justice [2]</i>).
The number the Obama administration <i>attempted any prosecution</i> of? 44. [1]<p>Just think: in the first two years of the Obama administration (the most recent data in the WP article), there were <i>over 25,000 fugitives</i> that were identified trying to purchase handguns and <i>over 67,000 felons</i> trying to purchase handguns... and the Obama administration only even <i>attempted</i> to prosecute 121 of the total 92,000+.<p>Note that fugitive number: that&#x27;s 25,000 fugitives that could have been caught and taken off the street <i>just by having law enforcement show up</i> at the gun store when the would-be buyer attempted to get a handgun.<p>--<p>1.
