My wife was buying her first firearm and the clerk said the FBI system is designed to turn down almost everybody for instant purchase and most get declined at the end of 7 days. Is that true?

Nope.

He just does not understand the risk of a neutered 2nd Amendment. I don’t like children being murdered either. But gun control will easily exacerbate the problem, NOT fix it. Plus, it will make us vulnerable to a totalitarian state. Study your history, Matthew. Don’t forget the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, etc.

Says a nearly washed up actor who probably has about the same knowledge of guns that Alec Baldwin has.

Cut off your male organ as an acceptable sacrifice to stop rape.

We have ‘sacrificed’ enough- there are 20,000 gun laws already o n the books which only serve to make it much harder for gun owners to own and use guns for self protection, and a whopping 300,000 statutes conferring guns on the books- These laws and statutes make it far more dangerous for law abidign citizens, and give criminals the upper hand- over and over aND over again!

NO MORE capitulation to the left- anyone suggesting capitulation is more inline with liberals than with patriotic constitution loving republicans!

The way to deal with the problem of occasional shootings of children by SOBs would be SOB laws. Make each one’s biological, present parent pay for it. Not the stepparent or boyfriend, who has no influence, but the present parent who spoiled another Machiavellian psychopath. Other loose, free and easy parents of illegitimate monsters would then think twice before allowing their monsters to acquire firearms.

Also remember that there were 108,000 drug overdose deaths in 2021, and there are more than 330 million people in the USA. Perspective...

Since I have never seen a Matthew McConaughey movie or bought a Lincoln automobile, my threats to boycott ring hollow.

Hunter Biden didn’t seem to have any problems. Regardless, I see your point. I think that “background” checks should be instant. Swipe ID, checks for anything that wouldn’t allow someone to purchase, done. No chance of “lying”, no possibility of the FBI creating a database (like everyone knows they are doing), FFL records would still be kept, although there should be something done about bATFezyx abuse. This should apply to NFA weapons as well, everyone know they make it as difficult as possible and it should be instant. Swipe ID, pay the tax, that should be the end of it.

Criminals lie on their background check.

See Hunter Biden.

Kenneth, what’s the death toll under oppressive regimes where the government has instituted gun control?

Ramos, the Buffalo and the Parkland shooter passed a NICS check.
Columbine killers, I believe used a straw purchaser, as did another mass shooter.
Sandy Hook killer murdered his mother and stole her rifle.
The Texas church shooter passed a NICS check because the Air Force screwed up.
How would any of the proposed laws stopped any of these?
Back in the 70s, Archie Bunker proposed giving every passenger a gun to thwart hijackings.

Just from a practical sense, why would you create a whole new set of laws and try to enforce “no gun zones” in 3,800,000 square miles (the size of the US) when you can enforcing existing “no gun zones” in schools that take up 1000th of a percent in size?

No. First time I ever bought a gun at gun store, did FBI check and got approved. Had to take gun to Sheriff to register it and get fingerprinted (for CPL). No problem, got my CPL.

Matthew McConaughey + Tim Robbins + Susan Sarando + Samuel L. Jackson + Helen Hunt + Matt Damon = F.A.G.s

Matthew McConaughey is just another insufferable Hollywood douchebag but with a cool sounding Texas drawl. But it doesn’t matter because he’s still a douche.

Matt, you used to enjoyable and funny. That’s all past now, and you’ve lost a fan. I bet less than half of America will watch you now.
