We have laws on the books to deal with this. If the feds would just ENFORCE them, perhaps we might see some change in the number of incidences reported.

You always hear of people getting arrested for some sort of gun violation, but never hear the outcome of the case. Is this just a matter of the media not wanting to waste valuable ratings getting time on 'boring' stuff, or a reflection of the lack of prosecution by the governemnt?
