Background checks are an utter exercise in stupidity anyway. They do absolutely nothing to stop criminals and only control the law abiding.
But people who, after months of gun discussion, still think ‘semi-automatic’ means ‘machine gun’ these checks sound like a panacea.
I don’t care if someone’s buying guns or Cabbage Patch kids. Asking for government approval to engage in legal activity is an abrogation of rights, voluntary or otherwise.
Correct, if they sufficed already to solve the specious “gun violence” problem now, then it would have stopped NewTown, wouldn’t it?
Filling out these forms universally is just a means to come back, say after 2014 after we might lose the House, and demand a registry - a repository of all the guns bought.
That is just Confiscation unexecuted, and I will not comply. I’ll disperse everything I have before that.
