Gun Background Checks Pass in Washington

[westwall]

All gun sales in the state of Washington will now have to go through a background check. It passed with 60% majority. I voted with the majority.

So now it will be harder for criminals, those with mental problems and domestic abusers to get a gun. They won't be able to do it legally in the state of Washington anymore.

Interesting, when it's put to the vote of the people, background checks passes. Clearly the people of our nation want all gun sales to go through a background check. Too bad that the nra can buy gop politicians to prevent the same law at the federal level.

Lives will be saved in Washington because of this law.

They have the same laws in California and they don't seem to have had the slightest effect on preventing criminal behavior. Probably because criminals are...well criminals.

So you think background checks on criminals is worthless because criminals will get them illegally anyway? Do you also think we shouldn't have speed limites because speeders will speed anyway. Do you also think we shouldn't have laws on murder because people might kill anyway?

You are a Nihilist

Criminals don't get their guns through normal channels is the point. As I said California has had those laws in place for well over a decade and the violent crime rate continues to increase. The one thing that DID drop crime rates was incarcerating a ton of gangbangers. That worked. These laws don't do anything but inconvenience the law abiding.

You are right about street thugs not getting their guns through normal channels, but the guy who is a mental case usually just goes to a gun show to buy his guns before killing those who pissed him off a day or two before.

And these laws don't prevent them from getting what they want either. Feel free to show me a single case where a nutcase was prevented from getting whatever he or she wanted.

Serously?

In any country with safety-based gun laws, it happens every day.

Then show us one. Were it to have happened they would be crowing about it. There would be statistical evidence to support it. Anything....only there isn't a single case they can point to. Not one.

Westwall -

Try and understand. Really.

In any western country with safety-based gun laws, people are denied gun permits on a daily basis. There are thousands of people who are denied gun licenses.

Do you think their names published on websites or in newspapers?

Try and post with a little common sense, eh?

Saigon, try and understand, really...... There is ZERO statistical evidence that shows these laws to have prevented one bad person from ever obtaining a weapon. None, zero, null. There IS evidence that they HAVE prevented women especially from obtaining a weapon to defend themselves from spouses or boyfriends who have gone off the deep end and been killed because amazingly enough Restraining Orders just don't seem to do anything to those intent on murder.

Your arguments are as lame as any others you make. How are your Finnish geographical classes coming along BTW?

Jesus wept.....I give up. You're beyond reach.

No one was ever denied a gun license in any country. Got it.

They won't be able to do it legally in the state of Washington anymore.

And that is why you are a moron. OUT-LAWS never did withIN the LAW to begin with, and the crazies don't' care how they do it.


OUT-LAWS operate OUTside the LAW.

Gj beleaguering the law abiding.

What everyone who puts forth this argument ignores is that in countries with strict gun laws, there are far, far less guns in circulation, among criminals as well as 'law abiding' people, and gun violence goes way down. So the idea that if we have strict gun laws only criminals will have guns, is not borne out in reality in countries with strict gun laws. It's in fact a pointless, insupportable argument that you folks repeat over and over again. It's silly to do so. Come up with something real for a change.

Yeah they only stab each other instead.

Did you think murder was discovered after guns were invented?

"Thou shalt not murder."

Obviously they had guns in ancient Egypt because that's the only way murder ever occurs.

Lying liberal scum mostly invaders from freakville California passed a gun control bill in my state of Washington. They took over and ruined Oregon and now they are working on Washington.

You must really hate democracy.

We're a Republic, not a Democracy, read Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. Our rights cannot be taken away, even by a Majority of the People (Democracy).

 

[Saigon]

Yeah they only stab each other instead.

and less people die.

As you must know, 2nd, the US has a total homicide rate between 4x and 10x that of most other major, western economies.

Reduce the number of guns = reduce the number of murders. It really is as simple as that.

 

[Esmeralda]

Great, here's a little laboratory to test once again the failure of gun control.

Failed in Chicago, failed in Washington D.C., failed in California...and in a couple of year we'll add "failed in Washington State" to that list.

The weak laws we have don't work because they are weak.

Leftys don't care about either of those things.

I see that you're still signaling your liberalism to everyone by purposely stating falsehoods WHICH YOU KNOW TO BE FALSEHOODS because I personally apprised you of these findings on two occasions.

And communism never worked because "real" communism has never been tried. Am I right?

Too bad you listened to the liars about what that bill does. It's gonna lose when challenged in the courts.

Yep, because its a constitutional right to shoot up a school!

And has the current law requiring background checks worked? What a wonderful fucking idea, when are you going to make it a crime for selling drugs without a license?

Maybe we should make a law against selling drugs on the street without a license think it would work?

Hows that war on drugs thing going?

Oh please alcohol kills and maims untold thousands more men, women, and children so why are liberals not rallying to ban alcohol? Because its not about some nutter shooting up a school that's just the excuse the left uses to strip away our rights.
