Why sane people oppose background checks

[Quantum Windbag]

Or does pointing out that this is happening prove I am paranoid?

The University of Iowa has been quietly sharing federally protected student information with Johnson County law enforcement officials who handle gun permit applications — an arrangement that one national organization calls a “license to snoop.”
The information includes some data on classroom achievement that by law can’t be considered by sheriffs when processing permit-to-carry applications and are normally protected from disclosure by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Mark Braun, chief of staff for U of I President Sally Mason, said that in some cases the information speaks to a student’s perceived status as a “troublemaker,” but could also include information on failing grades or signs of depression or anger.
“This is incredibly alarming,” said Justin Dedecker, a graduate student who sought a gun permit in 2011. “How does my performance in class become an indicator of my mental stability?”

I've publicly challenged the federal government regarding gun owners' rights...

I, of course, shouldn't be worried about any kind of punitive action taken by the federal government against me, right...?

Hey! I wonder if that dude who stole my guns last year can pass a background check?

 

[OriginalShroom]

Schools who do that should be sued.

Yup. Most, if nearly all Americans oppose making it legal for convicted criminals and certifiably mentally ill people to buy guns.

Here you embrace it.

Fucking moron.

I don't think anyone is arguing that. Good try though. So what is your position of Personal and Private Information on People who legally own guns, being released to the Press for Publication? Why isn't that a crime? Why are the people responsible for that still employed? That is criminal and there should be no excuse for it.

You posted, "Why sane people oppose background checks". So unless you're considering yourself "insane" you are lumping yourself in with morons, right?

 

[Luissa]

Most people agree with back ground checks. So I don't think there is a lot of sane people opposing them?
And yes I am sure what you posted would stand up in court. so in reality do sane people oppose background checks? Not many.

 

[Luissa]

I have to do back ground checks one every year with the state and every two years through my employer. Why can't you do one to buy a gun?

Are you really as stupid as your namesake?

No one is trying to "make(ing) it legal for convicted criminals and certifiably mentally ill people to buy guns."

That's the biggest damned bunch of bullshit shoveled this week.

You must've typed those last two words while looking in a mirror.

If you don't want background checks that is what you are advocating.

We already have background check laws in place.

90% according to this poll, I have also heard 70 to 75%.
So really are there many sane people who oppose it? Doesn't seem that way.

I don't see what this has to do with how FFL holders handle information.
