Are you still having trouble persuading someone that gun control legislation, especially expanded background checks, isn't such a bad thing after all? Well, if so, hopefully this blog will help.
Adam Yahiye Gadahn is an al Qaeda translator and spokesperson, who was born in the United States. He left the U.S. for Pakistan in 1998 and has been reported by the FBI as a member of al Qaeda since 2004.
On June 2nd of 2011, Gadahn released a video, which urged followers to attack targets inside the U.S., and added the following:
"America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at a local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle without a background check and most likely without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"
When a member of the terrorist group al Qaeda urges fellow terrorists to take full advantage of America's weak gun laws and specifically cites the background check loophole at gun shows, don't you think it's about time we took the matter a little more seriously and at the very least expanded background checks?
