he says we have background checks when guns are purchased from a licensed dealer.
what his objection is - the federal govt intruding into private sales between two citizens. that should not happen.
Technically, background checks should not happen @ FFL's, either. Show me where, in the 2nd Amendment, it says, "Shall not be infringed, as long as you have a background check". Last I checked, it didn't. Which is why I've always argued that FFL's are partially responsible for the destruction of our 2A rights - they are more than willing to lick the jackboots of almighty FedGov in order to make a fortune off the destruction of our rights. Of course, the rest of the fault lies in us, for CONSENTING to that destruction by submitting to said checks. Free men don't ask permission.
