I just got a ‘fifteen minute’ background check done on me last week. As I sat there for over an hour (15 minutes is a lie), I felt a little like a kid who had been sent to the pricipal’s office.
Why am I subjected to this abuse? And why isn’t this abuse enough for idiots like this police chief?
My Second Amendment rights are obviously being infringed.
What about the Fourth Amendment, which protects me from unreasonable search and siezure....that is exactly what the background check is.
What about the Fifth Amendment, gun grabbers “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation”...even though the buyback programs are voluntary, they may not meet this requirement - a $40 gift card is not ‘just compensation’...its ‘trick an old lady into surrendering her heirlooms’.
While this idiot was speaking, he had a cadre of officers behind him, providing armed security. Why is it so hard for him to comprehend that I also value security?
Shucks, go get a TWIC (transportation workers identification card) You get all ten digits fingerprinted, asked many intrusive questions then get sent home for a couple of weeks until the check is complete. All that just to keep a job if you work near a port. Whatacountry!
It's not a lack of comprehension, he just doesn't care. HE doesn't value your security and for him that's all that matters.
I had the FBI check done about ten days ago. It took 4-5 minutes.They did charge me $10 for the damn check.
