The problem is NOT the weapon used. It is in the WILL of said person to kill. If he hadn't a gun, it would have been something else. Andrea Yates killed all 5 of her children by drowning them in a bathtub. Was anyone angry at bathtubs after that? No, they were angry at HER.
I am not willing to give up ANY of my rights because of the actions of some lunatics who would kill anyway.
Who is talking about taking your guns from you?
No one is talking about taking guns from law abiding people. If you're one of those you have nothing to worry about.
The fact that you're willing to use a lie to justify allowing the wrong people to get guns shows me that you're probably one of those people who can't pass a background check.
I personally want background checks. To keep guns out of the hands of those who do things such as what happened yesterday.
If you're a felon, have real mental issues or have a history of domestic violence, you shouldn't have a gun.
That man was a felon and was still able to get a gun. The only way to decrease the violence is to prevent those people from getting a gun in the first place.
Who's talking about taking my guns away? You are, you're just too stupid and short sighted to realize it. When you make laws to stop bad people from getting a gun, you take away the freedoms of the law abiding as well. And when the bad guy still finds a way, you make more laws and take more rights away, and the cycle repeats because you left wing idiots are too stupid to address the ACTUAL problem. Then eventually no one is allowed to own a gun. It is exactly what you are doing.
Do you honestly think he went the route to receive that gun that would have run a background check, if required? With his history, my guess is he got it through the black market, which would not give a damn whether a background check was required or not.The problem is NOT the weapon used.

You do realize that all gun stores conduct back ground checks...even at gun shows....
Do you have concrete evidence that a large percentage of murders have been carried out with weapons acquired due to these loopholes?He had a previous record, but don't know what, other than he had served time.
He killed his son in 2001.
The man was a convicted felon and had a record of violence and murder.
Which is why the background checks on gun sales loopholes need to be closed.
First of all, there aren't any loopholes idiot. And second, you don't even know wether he owned the gun, borrowed it or stole it.
Calling me names isn't going to make what you said true or make what I said any less true.
There are loopholes in the background check law. People don't get background checks in private sales at gun shows and on line or face to face sales.
That's a loophole. A way to get around the intent of the law.
No we don't know how he got that gun but he sure didn't get it at a regular gun store. He wouldn't have been able to pass the background check.
He got it through a private transaction or from just borrowing it from someone else.
And I guess by banning autos we will save a life as well, and so will banning knives, and bungy jumping, and rocks, and hammers and playgrounds, and...I personally want background checks

Yes but private sales don't do background checks.
Neither does sales from the internet.
Very big loopholes that allow criminals to get guns and harm innocent people.
Close the loopholes and it's harder for a criminal to get a gun. It also makes it easier for law enforcement to find those selling guns to criminals and put them in jail where they belong.
Will it stop all crime? No. No one is suggesting it will. It will stop some crime. If it saves even one life from being cut short, it's worth the background check.
Just because we can't stop all crime doesn't mean we should just let criminals do what they want and not do anything about it.
Do you advocate that we stop prosecuting murderers and make it legal to murder someone just because we can't stop all murder from happening?
Furthermore, there is no real scientific evidence among criminologists and economists that background checks actually reduce crime. In fact, a 2004 National Academy of Sciences panel concluded that the Brady background checks didn't reduce any type of violent crime. Nor have other later studies found a beneficial effect.
The number of criminals stopped by the checks is also quite small. In 2010, there were over 76,000 initial denials, but only 44 of those were deemed worthy for prosecution and only 13 individuals were convicted. Even those 13 cases don’t tend to be the “dangerous” criminals Obama claims are being stopped.
All these denials mean delays for many law-abiding gun buyers. Although this is merely an inconvenience for most, initial denials cause dangerous delays for people who suddenly, legitimately need a gun for self-defense, such as a woman being stalked by an ex-boyfriend or spouse.
He had a previous record for harming his children and grandchildren. The man was insane. Why was he on the streets? What compassionate mind felt that he had paid his debt and should be free? What was his family thinking by not dropping him in his tracks when he showed up at the door?He had a previous record, but don't know what, other than he had served time.
It wasn't a compassionate mind.
It was the law.
He plead guilty and only got 3 years in prison.
Don Spirit pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in the fatal shooting of his 8-year-old son, Kyle, in a 2001 hunting accident. He was sentenced to three years in prison and was emotional about the shooting at his hearing.
Stop trying to put the blame where it doesn't belong.
The blame lies with the state of Florida, loopholes in background checks and don spirit.
There have been more ax murders than gun murders.If he hadn't had a gun, he would have used an ax.

Well if background checks were required for ALL gun sales then that problem would stop after a while.
Those who continue to sell guns to people without a background check will be easier to find and easier to put in jail.
So whether a criminal gets it from the black-market or from a private sale and then uses that gun in a crime, the person who committed the crime and the person who sold them the gun illegally will go to jail.
I just want to know why you want to make it easy for a criminal to get a gun for their next crime or murder.
The problem is NOT the weapon used. It is in the WILL of said person to kill. If he hadn't a gun, it would have been something else. Andrea Yates killed all 5 of her children by drowning them in a bathtub. Was anyone angry at bathtubs after that? No, they were angry at HER.

You can also go to some shady guy in a crappy neighborhood and get a piece. How does a background check law prevent that from happening?
The children were from 3 months old to 10 yrs old. Just heartbreaking. How could a grandfather and father do such a thing??
Killed himself. Police had been called to the house before.

With his previous history over the last 8 years or so, I would think it doubtful.The children were from 3 months old to 10 yrs old. Just heartbreaking. How could a grandfather and father do such a thing??

I wonder if he had a brain tumor.
