After the shooting in Shady Brook the game has changed. Most folks love their kids and grand kids more that their guns...
The vast majority of Americans don't want the crazies to have guns but they wont give up their constitutional right to own theirs.
IMHO the NRA or any other group advocating for the 2nd Amendment can not be seen as advocating letting the crazies have guns. One way to reduce the number of crazies from acquiring guns may be through the background check procedure...
You sound like the perfect dEMOcrat.
Any pathetic piece of trash who trades down on the constitution is unworthy of being called an American.
Yes you will get flamed because you have failed in a spectacular way.
NOBODY wants the crazies to get guns. Lanza apparently tried to buy a gun and failed the back ground check. Regardless he got the firearms from his mother. So a background check for him would have been useless because he didn't buy them, he stole them.
The marxists are pushing for universal background checks for one reason, to provide a paper trail for all gun ownership. The only firearms bought or sold without a background check are those transferred between private individuals such as family members. Thats a very small percentage of legal firearms.
Criminals don't get background checks and they never will. Forcing law abiding people into yet another hurdle will not save any lives.
Okay, so how would that have stopped Lanza from getting the guns? THey were his mom’s.
How crazy do you have to be? Who decides who’s crazy? What if a person is determined “crazy” but lives with a non-crazy? Can the non-crazies have guns? Do they have to be locked up? Who checks on that?
How do you get on a crazy list?
Looks like I'm the only friend you got here tonight.....LOL@!
The background check works and I have no problem with it, but that's the extent of gun control that I support and I'm sure it's yours too.
