i would like to ask how you would define and -- an ex-felon. there are many people who are part rolled into the city from out of the area -- who are poor role -- who are paroled. gary scott holland was paroled in april. he was released in august and murdered kate horan in october. he was employed and that is the reason he stayed in the city. normally, we understand from the investigation we have done in the past year, the -- that obviously, we would like to see people who do get jobs, which this man did, but how will we ever defined -- this man was a violent offender. he pleaded guilty on november 8 to first-degree murder. he will be sentenced on december 12, and he will go away for 50 years with no parole. the legislation is written in such a way that it says "ex- offender" -- whatever it is called. "ex-felon." what about sexual predators? how do they figure into this legislation? obviously, this thing is going to go through today, but is there any way you would consider taking a look at what we are talking about? thank you very much. supervis

convicted of murder rape and kidnapping cases that they profiled the new york times so convicted felons. who are denied their right to vote but not denied their right to carry a concealed handgun does america have its party screwed up and i spent the better part of yesterday going back and forth with this new york times reporter i mean the i'm the editor of the guns of patriots news letter so our readers are very very much interested in what was going on with this story in north carolina basically you had a five year period you would get a universe of two hundred forty thousand permit holders he found eight people in that five year period who were convicted of a murder or manslaughter i mean will than then were convicted of voter fraud in that state in the last decade well i think that i think you you're locked on to what the problem was tom is in the second half of the new york times article he really focuses on the inability of the new north carolina law enforcement to enforce the laws that exist and he gives examples where sheriffs or other police departments when these problems are

you're a felon, you will fail that background check.ever, if you're buying a gun not from a federally licensed dealer but just from a guy, somebody who took out an ad on a site like armslist.com or gunslisting.org or craigslist, the private person you're buying your gun on craigslist isn't responsible for background checking you. they can sell you a gun but don't have to check your background, you felon. if the private person has reason to believe you would fail a background check, it becomes illegal for them to sell you the gun. you can think of it as an honor system. an honor system for convicted murderers. if we as a country have agreed that felons give up their right to purchase a gun, do we agree this is a reasonable way to enforce that law? the honor system for felons and people with severe mental illness. if you ask the gun rights people about this honor system for felons, if you ask the nra about closing this loophole, making private sellers have to check to see if they are selling it to i afelon, the nra says that's a solution
