From my piece this afternoon:
[NRA director of federal affairs Jim] Baker, [NRA president David] Keene says, told Biden that in 2009, โ77,000 people tried to get through the NICS system to illegally buy a firearm. That is a crime, and only 70 of them have been prosecuted.โ
But there wasnโt interest in changing the prosecution rates.
โAnd the attorney general [Eric Holder] interrupted and said, โWe donโt have the time or the resources to be going after these people,โโ Keene recounts. But there are apparently resources, Keene remarks, โto go after innocent gun owners.โ
Holderโs office did not respond to a request to confirm or deny the incident.
