MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA/WPMI) - While many folks flood gun shows in fear of tougher gun laws, the U.S. Attorney in Alabama's Middle District believes the president's plan is comprehensive.

George Beck said he supports one of the most talked about  proposals of adding mental health records to background checks, and also is pleased to see the proposal include gun tracking.

"We need to know the source, straw buyer or black market," Beck said, "This is not a ban on weapons, making gun ownership safe, making it harder for criminals to get the weapons protecting 2nd Amendment rights."

Despite support from the Department of Justice, Alabama's congressional delegation expressed explicit opposition to President Obama's gun control proposals.

Beck is a Obama appointee and it's no wonder he sides with him. These people just don't get it, where are these violent criminals getting their guns from? They are stealing them from burglaries and break-ins. What else explains how so many teens are using guns? They aren't old enough to buy one and the majority of the ones over 21 years old have criminal records if not extensive records that prevent them from ever buying and owning a gun. You have thousands of people killed each day day in the US and occassionally you'll have a mass murder like a school shooting that brings out the anti-gun liberals crying for gun control. We need CRIME CONTROL, not gun control. It all starts with how people raise their children and when the federal government volunteers with entitlements to step in and raise their kids the sorry parents have no interest in how their children turn out. Hence a society now full of jackals and thugs by the millions.
