Not a bit of it. Will a background check or safety training prevent all tragedies? Nope. Will it prevent some tragedies? Of course. Some is better than none.Perfect is the enemy of goodThere are extremists on both sides, I'm not one of them. If you can pass a background check that verifies you don't have a criminal mental health history, and you've been through some training in the safe use of your weapons, I can't imagine any law I'd support that would take away your guns.
I know of a cop who was very well trained in gun safety. He was a decorated cop (received recognition and awards.) He no doubt passed at least one "background" check and who knows what other kinds of psychological exams. . .
We was married to an extremely good looking, smart, LOVED police officer, friend of my whole family.
They divorced.
She was scared of him.
She got a restraining order.
He broke into her house, shot her in the head and then offed himself.
I have no faith or security in your much blathered about "background" checks.
You are dodging the point.
There is absolutely nothing in a background check or safety training that will keep a criminal mind in check.
Nope......background checks don't stop criminals, criminals can't go to gun safety because they can't own guns.....both target normal gun owners with the intent of increasing the cost, red tape and legal jeopardy of the normal gun owner.....
