Faulty reasoning

Not at all. Your statement All rights come with a certain amount of resrictions. Including gun rights is pure Brady Stuff right from the the HCI handbook. You're deliberately confusing abuse of firearms (shooting in your backyard) with restrictions on ownership (prior restraint.)

I reiterate if you have to ask the government's permission to do it, then it isn't a right. You don't have to ask permission to exercise a right.

And I own guns.

Why is it that every anti-gun type always has something like this in their screeds

Why don't you come out with the tried and true favorite "You can't shout fire in a crowded theater" as another false straw man?

Just to make my position clear I oppose ALL background checks on firearms purchases as needless and useless infringements on our right to keep and bear arms.

That’s right pal, you can’t shoot your gun in a crowded theater, and I can’t shoot my gun where innocent people might get killed. How is the prevention of abuse of firearms (shooting in your backyard) not a restriction? There have been restrictions on fully automatic weapons i.e. machine guns for decades. Laws are there reasons. You have the right to own a gun(s), but you don’t get to own a tactical nuclear missile.
