Where did this myth come from that background checks aren’t done?

Relevant sections of North Dakota's Constitution:
Art 1, Section 1.
All individuals are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation; pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness; and to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.

Art 1, Section 20.
To guard against transgressions of the high powers which we have delegated, we declare that everything in this article is excepted out of the general powers of government and shall forever remain inviolate.

I hope the traveling circus comes to Reno. These asshats need to keep their noses out other peoples business. Gabby and mx. mark kelley-giffords need to high tail it back to AZ. Actually, they should probably be run out of AZ and settle in dc next door to jim and sarah anti gun offices. Didiots.

Given AZ, they could move next door to Juan or The Flake.

Kelly is a spaceman, they can relocate off of Earth and leave us alone. All they are is a bunch of busy bodies out to destroy the Constitution.

RE:Mark Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., visited Bismarck on Wednesday promoting additional regulations to curb gun violence. "We can make our society safer without infringing on our Second Amendment rights," Kelly said. Kelly and Giffords launched Americans for Responsible Solutions on Jan. 8 . "

The Gabby's are second amendment gun lovers, they just want common sense gun safety..

Do it for Gabby and the little ones.

Ex-spaceman. A newer post says they’re doing something in Ohio as well. Too bad I didn’t get the memo when he was here in NV down in Carson City. A good time would have been had by some. Mainly me.

That is pretty good language for a state constitution.

I find the history of the 2a to be fascinating. A number of states had constitutions prior to the US constitution, and I assume that language was leveraged to the bill of rights. I particularly like the language in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Constitution. It uses the words, "shall not be questioned". That, I think, is stronger than, "shall not be infringed."

Americans for Responsible Solutions has signed up roughly 500,000 members since forming and raised more than $11 million from approximately 80,000 donors, Kelly said.

Since January.

Nice gig.

Giving a brain-damaged person a gun.

Oh, the irony.

Glad you’re enjoying AZ. A little further north it’s been in the 100’s for the past few days. Not as consistent as AZ with the 100+ temp days though. Glad of that.

You're tight, that is a cool thing about PA's Constitution. I do like New Mexico's too:
Art II, Sec. 6. [Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms.
The first underlined portion, in theory, prevents things like disturbing the peace or brandishing from being used as excuses to disarm you.

They’re “special”. If you watch the video, it appears to me that when mx. mark kelley-giffords “takes” the pistol away from gabby and places it down at the station he places it so that the muzzle is pointed to their left towards the other stations. Even though there is nobody else there. HUH? Anyway, I ain’t no expert but anytime I go to the range and place a weapon down at the station the muzzle is ALWAYS pointed down range. Not at the adjacent stations. I think these folks should be denied ownership of firearms. Especially since gabby now has diminished mental capacity.
