I voted NO. The operative word is ALL gun sales. This question does not cover private sales. If Walmart wants to check fine, just leave me alone when I am horse trading at the range.

No joke. I don't remember the 2A saying anything about a background check, or a license, or mag capacity, etc.
I certainly do remember the "shall not be infringed" part though.
Yes, absolutely.
No guns whatsoever unless you can demonstrate that you can hit a perp standing in the BACKGROUND of a dimly lit nightime street scene.
After all, you're all that matters
No free citizen shall be debarred the use of arms. —Jefferson
If they’re too criminal or crazy to be trusted with a gun, then likewise to walk the streets. This is a sentencing / diagnosis problem, not a gun ownership problem.
“From my profile:

“3. The idea of releasing a person onto the street while denying him, under color of law, an otherwise lawful means of self-defense, is looked upon as an act of barbarous cruelty, let alone a violation of his rights as a human being.”
(Items 1 and 2 not being germane to the discussion)
crimes like ‘ talking trash against the state’ perhaps?
No thanks....incrementalism will make viewing Free Republic a crime.
convict crimes....put away violent offenders for good or execute them...
if you limit the rights of even non violent felons...then you limit their ability to protect themselves...right now if a woman says her husband threatened her, they will take your guns away even if there is no witnesses...
sorry but no deal on this one....
the right of the people to keep and bear arms does not have any such caveats

Private seller do a gun check at gun show? How about from your home?
Don’t know.
If this is about crazies,we have some here.Strange how they straighten up when they know you carry or even own a weapon.
Selfish attention whore ;)
BTW WELCOME TO FR NOOB!
Thanks, Dynachrome!
I think KGUN should have a background check.

Translation: "Since I can squeak past the infringement to my liberty whilst patting myself on the back, I voted yes."
Reminds me of the people who don't have a problem with magazine capacity restrictions because all they own are hunting rifles that won't be affected.
KGUN needs to be background checked to exercise their 1st amendment rights.
Let's see, we have a president who refuses to even release his damn BIRTH CERTIFICATE, but we need background checks for a right guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution?
No effing way.
Why, so the gub mint can track U?
Best to buy privately with NO record.
Jsome day the Brown shirts will come if they know you have even one
Yes, we have to keep a record of who has guns. CCW permits too.
