The concept that the government could or should only allow certain people to buy guns stands the very concept of American jurisprudence on its head. It presumes that the government knows all, controls all, and should be doing so. It is wrong and ineffective. It is the opposite of preventing criminals from possessing guns.
It is crazy to set up a huge expensive bureaucratic system, require everyone to jump though hoops and prove that they are *not* criminals in order to try, ineffectively, to prevent the few individuals who are not responsible, from having legal access to guns. This is a failed paradigm, and it should be abandoned. To accept the idea that the all gun sales should be monitored by the government, and only allowed to those it deems satisfactory is fundamentally wrong.
The entire idea of the enterprise has always been the death of a thousand cuts, where the restrictions on who can buy, and where, and how and what are continually increased until the number of gun owners is reduced to political insignificance.

The left makes a foolish plan. They get caught doing it. They they continue like no one saw them doing it. Then Congress sits there with only one or two saying it is a crime.
Why not? Our elected Republican congressional “leaders” are all but ignoring it themselves...
Wow! Now that's a real surprise. The 0bama worshiping anti-gun media continues to spew out lies. Who would have guessed?
See no nothing ping.
It wasn't until after JFK was shot, supposedly with a mail order rifle, that mail order sales were banned. There was no decrease in the amount of murders, armed robberies or other crimes in which guns were used, but that didn't stop the government from enacting more and more gun laws in order to disarm the law abiding.
Thankfully, despite the effort of the anti-gun MSM and others, we are making inroads on getting many of those rights restored.
