there is nobody opposing investigation of prohibited people trying to buy guns. It is nonsense to say such a thing. Any proof or just wishful thinking?

Seems I remember even the NRA endorsing the Brady Bill as passed, no? Yes. Along with the NFA, the 1968 and the 1984 revisions, all supported by the NRA at the time.

No, it is the gun control groups who beg for no enforcement because if enforcement results in reductions their membership (minuscule as it is) will decline even more than it already has..
