I don’t believe most of us have a problem with background checks, what we have a problem with is having our name on a list in Government hands that underlines our names and says this man has a gun.

We have watched and we are not stupid. We know that the end game with these gun grabbers is confiscation. Getting a background check is almost the same as registering a weapon. They know you have it because they have your name. From the background check.

Only honest people apply for a background check, those criminals who use guns get them from theft, or off the street from other criminals. When a background check shows that you are a veteran, smoked marijuana, got a traffic ticket or spit on a sidewalk and then you are refused a gun, that is why we oppose background checks. That and the fact that check is recorded and tell the Government where gun owners are—setting you up for confiscation.

Well as owning a gun is constitutionally protected I do have a problem with background checks SOLELY for guns.

I you were to say, someone who is so unstable as to be a danger to society needs to be on a funny farm then we might have common ground.

To have just a background check for a constitutionally protected right and allow defective humans to drive a car or operate heavy machinery, or provide us with editorial comments in our news papers or other media OR TO BE POLITICIANS then it is not common sense.

The people who can do the most damage are not gun owners but POLITICIANS and lawyers and they need yearly background checks up the wazoo.

When law abiding gun owners start killing more people than our government I will support your position. Until then NO!

I have no problem with background checks. What I object to is tagging the firearm to the background check data. If I am allowed to own a firearm there is no reason for anyone other than the manufacturer to know the serial number. And that’s only so they can uphold their guarantee with the original owner.

Actually, quite a lot of us have a problem with any kind of background check.  The Travons of the world don't have to ask the government for permission to own a gun. Why should I?

Let me go on record as being one of those people
who has a problem with background checks
to receive government permission
to exercise any of my god given rights.
