without a background check how do you prevent felons from owning weapons?I don't understand...?what something like a background check does is prevent someone likely to break a law from being in that position
Different thing.sort of like a the laws that remove a person's license to drive for say a dui.
What you describe here is akin to felons, etc, losing their right to arms upon conviction..
Background checks are then akin to forcing everyone to blow into a breathalizer every time they start their car.
