Opinions are like Aholes. Everyone has one and they all stink.

1) Kids today are molly coddled jackasses. (See Hogg. Should that jackfruit have a gun? F no.)
6) Then propose a way to prevent selling a gun to an imbecile with violent tendencies who is threatening people regularly. My ears are open.

Opinions are like A-Holes. Luckily, we have the Constitution to protect us from yours.

Kids may be "molly coddled jackasses." We're talking about adults, and molly-coddled or not, they have a right to keep and bear arms.

Should Hogg have a gun? The guy is annoying and wrong about a lot of things, but yes, he has and should have the right to own a gun once he becomes an adult.

6) Then propose a way to prevent selling a gun to an imbecile with violent tendencies who is threatening people regularly. My ears are open.

We already have one that is just as good as the one you propose. The background checks already in place. Can you point to a single mass shooting committed with a gun that was legally purchased without a background check?

Out of the ten most recent high-profile mass shootings, 8 were committed with firearms legally purchased by the shooter after the shooter passed a background check. One, the San Bernardino shooting, was committed by firearms purchased for the shooters by a friend--a "straw man" purchase that is already illegal and for which the friend was criminally prosecuted. One, Sandy Hook, was committed by firearms legally purchased by the shooter's mother.

In other words, expanding the background check requirement to non-FFL sales as you propose would have stopped none of these shooters from getting a gun.
