I saw where you thought it was funny that the Democrats lynched black people. You are messed up.Wrong.Yeah because ALL people who own guns do that
I don't know why it's so hard for you to understand that simply because a person owns a gun he is not responsible for all crimes other people commit with a gun
I suppose you think because all men have penises that all men are responsible for every rape too
And you fail to understand that every person who ever killed someone with a gun was once an innocent man.
SO what?
You can't punish people for crimes they have not yet committed. And you can't punish an innocent person for the crimes of another
But tell you what you volunteer to be castrated because all rapists were once innocent men, give up your driver's license because all drunk drivers were once sober drivers, spend the rest of your life in prison because all criminals were once not criminals at least that way you'l be consistent with your beliefs that all people need to be treated like criminals for future crimes they may or may not commit
It is not unreasonable to make it illegal for someone to sell a gun without a background check, and it is not unreasonable for a person who knowingly sells a gun to a person who would not pass a background check, to be charged with accessory, if the person that he sold it to commits homicide with it.
It is, in fact, unreasonable ... just because you say it doesn't make it so.
In fact, if you say it, we can pretty much expect it to be unreasonable.
Background checks and prohibiting felons from possessing firearms are perfectly reasonable and Constitutional, because the Supreme Court makes it so:
“The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.” Ibid
Conditions and qualifications such as background checks, consistently upheld as not violating the Second Amendment by the courts.
And save the lame, ignorant references to Dred Scott, Plessey v. Fergusson, the inane ‘argument’ that sometimes the Supreme Court is ‘wrong’ – that fails as a false comparison fallacy, having nothing whatsoever to do with current Second Amendment jurisprudence.
