Do you favor Background checks for kitchen knives?
Chainsaws? Lighters? Hammers? Pointy Sticks?
Are people insane?
..only by DHS...
To the headline
HELL NO
Maybe for voting and jury duty...
A reflection (delayed a bit) of what has happened to my state of birth and where Reagan was governor.
Perhaps we need back ground checks before issuing a drivers license in California; cars and trucks kill a lot more people in this state than guns do.
Not that I particularly want to give those cretins in Sacto any more stupid ideas.
745 NO NOW.
Making the "slippery slope" argument because our public officials are actually enforcing the existing gun laws is ridiculous. Isn't enforcement of our existing laws what all of the gun advocates always say they want?
If one-third of the firearms being taken from unauthorized people are coming from convicted felons, it's a sure bet the other two-thirds are coming from people who have been judged mentally incompetent, are drug addicts, or are prohibited from possession of a firearm because they have committed a significant crime not amounting to a felony, such as a domestic battery.
We should be increasing the resources devoted to removing firearms from anyone legally prohibited from possessing them. Then we can decide if additional restrictions are necessary to keep such weapons out of their hands in the future.

"Then we can decide if additional restrictions are necessary to keep such weapons out of their hands in the future."
That's always the solution isn't it. As long as one law-abiding citizen has one gun, you and others will live by the above rule. The problem is, you use that rule, to make law abiding owners of guns, criminals if they don't turn them in.
This isn't about reducing crime, protecting children or anything else short of eliminating gun ownership. At least you could own up to it.
Do drive-by shootings still exist? Yes.
Do armed robberies still take place? Yes
Do armed carjackings still take place? Yes
Do armed men still kidnap women? Yes
Do armed men still rape women? Yes
Tell us what your gun controls have achieved. The crimes still happen, and fewer people are able to own fewer types of guns. Criminals can get their hands on any gun they want. We as law-abiding citizens can't. Isn't that special.
Using a bit of Wittgensteinian logic.
Rephrase the question.
Do you favor background checks for voter registration?
It is, at least according to uncle Ludwig, exactly the same thing
You want to drive a leftist nuts. Read Karl Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein
Do I believe politicians should be drug tested once a week? You damn right I do.

LOLOLOL.

Faulty Poll. No button for “HELL NO!”
Only if the purchaser works for DHS.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
It doesn’t matter if you vote NO or do not vote. These paper/network/cable polls are just perfunctory steps in making sh!t up. They have to have a poll, but they already know the outcome. It is purely so that some demagogue can go into a panel meeting, caucus, etc and say “polls show.....” Just like the global warming crap.
