I find this whole background check issue hideous. Apparently the vast majority of Americans and even the NRA buys this feel-good background check idea. Do you really think criminals will submit themselves to a background check? They will buy their weapons on the street.

The only thing background checks do is make a gun purchase more expensive and time consuming for law abiding Americans. My sister in NJ, texted me yesterday and said that NICS background checks are taking 3-4 days. On a recent gun purchase I made in PA, it took 40 minutes to just to get through on the phone for a PICS background check. (PA doesn't do the national background check.)

The problem isn't law abiding citizens, it is criminals and liberals that seem to love to release them from jail without proper punishment that sets them straight so they will never, ever want to break the law again.

Administration Doesn't Have Time to Prosecute People Who Lie on Background Checks

I can see two ways for them to play this one:

1. "There's nothing we can do if you lie on the form." (Meanwhile they're increasing their detection and prosecution resources to catch and make examples of people like the Marine with the 40-year-old fistfight arrest.)

2. "Since there aren't enough resources to prevent firearm purchases by those who lie on the form, we're just gonna have to outlaw ALL firearm purchases. Sorry, but that's our only option."

Biden has made a bold and provocative move here. Wouldn't be wise for us to leave the threat sitting there unanswered.

If you are telling us they aren’t going to check the checks, then why do we have them, Joe?

I’m sure it makes sense to him.

They certainly had no time to prosecute our unqualified president who lied on his Birth Certificate and who has used at least 2 bogus social security numbers.
