People will kill each other with baseball bats, poision, bombs, knives, or whetever. If I had faith background checks would stop a murderer form going to the bad part of town, and buying a gun, I might support even stricter firearms selling practices, but.....Don't be ridiculous. I and many others have had this discussion with you several times. Senseless to do it again. You chose to ignore facts anyway. Universal background checks will save lives and better than 90% of the country agrees with that. It's no longer a matter of making a logical decision, because that has been done. It's a matter of breaking the NRA death grip on the republican representatives. It's as inevitable a legalized gay marriage and healthcare was, and even though you can delay it for a while longer, you can't stop it
Your constant claim that background checks will not reduce the number of armed bad guys just doesn't make sense. Do background checks for dealers work at all? Do you think we should continue them?
Do you understand the concept of the straw purchase....criminals get their guns from people who can pass background checks....or they steal them. They easily avoid background checks.
Mass shooters pass background checks....the Santa Barbara shooter passed 3 background checks, one for each gun he had.......
I am willing to keep background checks at gun dealers and gun shows but not for private sales....that goes too far and does nothing but target law abiding gun owners.....
I have posted the real intent behind universal background checks which is first to get registration of guns, and second to create felony traps for law abiding gun owners and lastly to inhibit using guns by law abiding gun owners who want to lend guns to friends or take gun safety classes...all of which will become more limited with universal background checks as intended by bloomberg and Everytown for Gun Safety and his other gun banning groups.
The real intent of background checks is to do checks on the background of people purchasing guns. Anything else you might think is just more crazy conspiracy stuff. You can't justify checks for dealers but not others.
I just told you that criminals do not get background checks. Mass shooters actually get background checks. Nothing you say about background checks actually stops criminals or mass shooters from getting guns. How hard is that to comprehend?
Criminals use straw purchasers...people who can actually pass background checks since criminals can't. They also steal their guns.
Mass shooters go through all the background checks you guys want....because they can pass them...or they too steal their guns.
Background checks do nothing but make it harder for law abiding people to get guns.
I know. You say the same dumb shit over and over. Still doesn't make it true.
