Edward Snowden passed a Top Secret background SSBI - and a polygraph...and look what he did...just because someone can pass a background check doesn’t mean they are going to do the right thing...
Why would I want to listen to a half brain idiot democrat?
It obviously didn't stop him from getting a firearm and shooting you and others. So what is the point of requiring background checks except to feel warm and fuzzy and employ government workers?
I own an eeeevilll GLOCK 42 also. I have a Colorado ccw (chp here) and am backgrounded every time i buy a weapon. Why would a carry license exempt you from that? BTW ohio doesn’t even recognize my Colorado carry permit.

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
I did not see insensitive listed.
Everyone has to pass a drivers test too, yet there are still drunk drivers.
Charlie McCarthy would be a better Senator or Congress critter than most who are serving currently.
Certainly has a better sense of humor than 95% of liberals...
Nice pic!
Then you are a total moron.
I don’t get it - he apparently bought a weapon after a background check and shot her with it..... She’s fine with that? If nothing showed up on his background check that he was a bit touched in the head, why would she want those loose or whatever background checks imposed on everyone?
Have to question her ability to reason and I guess being shot in the head would qualify her for not thinking straight. Then by all means lady, keep quiet!!!!
” Loughner wouldn’t have passed the background check if the local sheriff had done his job. By all accounts he was a whack job and had multiple complaints against him. The sheriff talked them out of pressing charges as a favor to his Mom, who was IIRC the county clerk.”
The sheriff is a left wing head case. No Joke!
The “background check” is about one thing, and one thing only: registration of gun-owners and their guns.
” I’m sorry, if the guy who shot you passed a background check, why is that kind of background check worth requiring?”
You can’t use logic on leftists.
It was a 9mm,she’s really lucky to be alive.
Background checks don’t make bullets less lethal. Background checks are not a crystal ball into the future.
Driver’s licenses don’t make cars less lethal.
Constitutional rights are not back ground dependant. They are either rights, or they are privileges.
Multiple laws on multiple books, in multiple states, counties, towns, villages, and cities exist to prosecute injuries, attacks, and murders of people whether the crimes are committed with hands, weapons, or other ordinary every day items including ropes, automobiles, glass bottles, gasoline, and anything else one can dream up.
It truly doesn’t matter whether or not a person is registered to use a hidden gun, or one hanging from the side of a holster in plain view. The lethality of the bullet once it exists the gun remains unchanged.
The problem with injuring others isn’t just a mental thing, it’s a spiritual thing as well. It can’t be measured or predicted.
You will find that the libertarians will constantly repeat claims about pot smokers that are simply not true. Libertarians have a dogma, and they don't want any contradictory facts to distract from their message.
They use the usual same slogan of the Govt should not infringe, but ask them about age of consent, drugs, incest, homosexual marriage, immigration, military and their argument makes them sound far left nuts.
She never goes away, does she.
And that is the salient difference between libertarians and conservatives. Conservatives are wise enough to realize that the Fiscal system cannot be separated from the underlying Social system.
I always quote Edmund Burke about this time.
Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
