Bureaucratic snafus can lead to good people not being able to buy their guns. The system not being down can lead to good people not being able to buy their guns. Sure the messes might be sorted out later(and probably at great expense to the poor guy who didn't do anything wrong), but remember a right delayed is a right denied.
I'm sure treating every citizen like they are criminals is all fine and dandy to you, but unless I've done something in the first place, I shouldn't even need to jump through any hoops. We haven't even gotten into the arguments about the ATF using the 4473s to create an illegal registry of who owns what, and what is the point of a registry except to know where to go when it comes time for a confiscation. See also, New Jersey and California's actions against AR-15s after requiring registration.
So you oppose ALL background checks.
You're typical of the nuts on this board, although most aren't nutty enough to admit it as you have.
I'm fine with background checks so long as the process is equally applied to every other civil right. Want to buy a book? Get a background check. After all, ideas are dangerous. Want to have a jury trial? Get a background check. After all, we don't want bad people to get off on a technicality. Want to pick a church? Background check. Want to not self-incriminate? Background check. Want to vote? Background check...oh wait, that one is racist.
