As I have repeatedly called for. we need greater enforcement of the existing law. which simply has not happened under this administration. In fact. in a remarkably senseless move. the Obama Administration eliminated an earlier restriction on the ability of foreign citizens to purchase guns unless they had lived in a particular State for 90 days. Remember that when considering that asylees or refugees or visitors who have not been screened before entering this country under the visa waiver program can legally buy a gun. Last week. the Senator from Connecticut contended that there is less gun crime and fewer homicides in States that have passed strict gun control laws. like his State. Perhaps gun crime has declined there.
