Don't blame the local and state police for everything.

There will never be a shortfall of federal funds if the locals and states LE can promise to be as forceful and chickenshit and clueless as can possibly be, and hire accordingly, that is, as per federal guidelines.

Contracted private prisons are hungry prisons.

Let's get a move on, here.

It has been proven time and again that many firearms are obtained 'outside' of the normal precurement proceedure.
The Panorama program managed to buy several guns without going into a gun dealership.
They also managed to get several more guns from gun shows.
And they did that within minutes, not days or weeks or months and complete with lots of ammo and no checks.

Bearing in mind that the presenter/investigator is not even a US citizen, it just proves that your laws are not enforced rigourously enough.

Regardless of that, any law is designed to deter people, it will never completely stop anything.
To state that a law is ineffective because it isn't 100% fool-proof and water-tight is ignorant and disingenuous at best and and a total strawman argument and foolish at worst.
What's even worse is the stupid small-minded trial areas that are guaranteed to fail and you always hold them up as examples of failure.
They will fail by design and implementation.
For anything to properly stand any chance of marginal success, it has to be nationwide and rigourously enforced; something the US seem unable to do.

Again you don't do your research.
Sessions is driving to enforce our gun laws.
Prosecute straw sales.
Prosecute illigal possesion etc.
You , as always refuse to adress the faxt that looser gun laws in VA can't be the cause of crime in DC , or there wqould be the same level of crime in VA.
DC has the drug fueled gangs that VA doesn't have, that is the problem if you aren't a gunaphobe.
