SEATTLE - Records from the FBI reveal the first hard numbers on the impact of Initiative 594, which requires universal background checks for all guns sold in Washington state.

The FBI’s criminal background check database shows that 50 felons were denied firearms purchases in the first 14 months that the law was in effect.

How the idiots like to spin things.

Records show that 50 additional felons were caught because of the provisions of I-594.

Caught? What does "caught" mean?

How many were prosecuted for the federal felony of lying on the 4473? Answer: none.

Just proves that background checks are 99.96% useless. (there is a 0.06% prosecution rate for felons caught lying on the 4473).


TLDR: law abiding citizens are suckers.

Like this one?

Oh, wait. He wasn't a felon until he was caught attempting to comply with the law....

It would be interesting to know what the 50 felons mentioned in the article were convicted of. Writing bad checks? Using a private email server for official email and then deleting said emails which were subject to public disclosure?

commander, Abramski was caught during a drug invoked search warrant where they did find drugs in the dismissed LE's residence and the receipt of purchased gun, yet were unable to ascertain the location of the gun. the 'uncle' gave Abramski money prior to purchase of the firearm, therefore, it was a strawman which was upheld by the highest court in the land.

further, this was discussed in minutia on this very forum...

Oh really? Hmm.....

Seems as if you are mistaken on some "facts".

mea culpa commander, et al., forgive a faulty memory...

here is the forum cite where this bank robbing, straw purchasing, and fired LE was discussed:

4. Backstories. Curious minds might want to know - How did the Feds get evidence of the transaction between Abramski and Alvarez?

Bruce Abramski purchased the Glock 19 and other items for $2000 in cash from a gun shop in Collinsville, Virginia, on November 17, 2009. Five days earlier, on November 12, 2009, $4000 in small bills was taken by a masked and hooded man in a bank robbery in Rocky Mount in SW Virginia, 23 miles from Collinsville.

Seven months later, the FBI executed search warrants for two houses Abramski occupied. One search uncovered a green zippered money pouch with the name of the bank on it. (!) In it was the receipt Alvarez gave Abramski for the gun. (!!) The Feds did not file charges but a Virginia grand jury indicted Abramski for three counts of armed robbery. The charges were pending for several months awaiting evidence from the FBI. It never arrived and the state prosecution was eventually dismissed: "We just couldn't get the stuff in a timely manner," a county DA said. (!!!) The Federal indictments at issue in this case followed a few weeks later. unquote
