So how do you propose preventing them from being able to buy a gun?
We have laws that say they can't......when they are caught with a gun they get arrested.....just like any other crime. Just like you can't prevent someone from driving 40 in a 35 mph zone......you punish them when they break the law........you do the same with guns.....
If there were no law against driving 40 in a 35, there would be nothing to prevent everyone from doing it. There is no law against selling a gun to a thug who shouldn't have it.
Yes there is.......you cannot knowingly sell a gun to a convicted felon, that is already a law....
The felon already knows they cannot buy, own or carry a gun...that is already the law.
If you catch a criminal with an illegal gun...you get him to tell you where he got it, the same way you get drug users to sell out their drug dealers.......why is this so hard for you twits to understand when you simply apply current police techniques to guns......you act like they are a different species of crime......what morons.
Dumb ass. How are you going to know if a stranger is a convicted felon?
When he is arrrested by the police for breaking the law, or during any encounter with the police where they find he has a gun in his possession, they run a felony check on him and find that he is a felon in possession of a gun....these are already covered under existing law.
Normal people are not cops...they do not have to investigate other citizens to determine their legal status.
If someone is selling guns knowingly to felons...when you catch one of his felon customers, you get him to rat the seller out and do an undercover sting...just like you do for every other crime.....
I have listed many arrests of illegal gun runners. Not one of them was caught because someone did a background check...they were all caught because someone snitched on them, then the police set up a sting and caught them.....then, of course, the prosecutors and judges gave them light sentences......which is the real problem.
Right. After he has broken the law again. You still haven't shown me how or why anyone would legally be obligated to even care if they were selling to a felon. The crook isn't going to tell the seller, and the seller is under no obligation to check. Why do you want to arm all those people who aren't supposed to have guns? Why do you encourage more crime?
