Why don't we just have background checks to commit a crime? I mean, the criminals are really the problem, right? Let's just require people to submit to a background check before they commit crimes, that way we can track them. Makes sense, right?
There's a rubber room for threads like this.
If you don't think a convicted pedophile should be barred from getting a job at a daycare center, or as your child's teacher,
if you don't think someone with multiple drunk driving convictions should prevented from getting a job as a school bus driver,
then you probably don't think that anyone convicted of a gun crime should be denied a gun permit, or a gun purchase,
because background checks are how we determine what those people's records are.
stupid, those a jobs people WORK IN
buying a gun for hunting or protection isn't the damn same..but you brown shirts won't be happy until you infringe on law abiding people rights except when it comes to abortions

Someone who buys a gun for hunting or protection is protected when others are vetted before owning or possessing a gun. A gun is no guarantee of safety, police officers and well armed soldiers die too often from small arms fire.

So tell me is there a chance that someone will break into my home intent of doing me or my wife harm?
Is there a chance my business will be robbed by someone who will put my employees in danger and also threaten my ability to provide for my family?
Until you can say there is absolutely zero chance of that happening I will keep a weapon
Besides being killed accidentally by a firearm isn't even in the top 5 leading causes of accidental death in the US
Why don't you worry about those before you try to confiscate weapons?

Oh, sure, there's always a chance someone will break into your home...
When you have 1% of the population controlling 90% of the wealth and making the rest of us fight over what is left, you are always going to have some poor, desperate hungry person ready to break into your home and business.
And you seem perfectly fine with that as long as you think you might get to prove your "manhood" and shoot them...
You don't need a gun. If you are afraid of criminals- address the causes of crime.

I have never pointed a weapon at anyone and I have no desire to shoot anyone. If you knew anything about human nature you would realize that I am exactly type type of person who should be able to own a weapon.
According to idiots like you the cause of crime is me earning more than those that would harm me to take what's mine.
And that's not my fault now is it?

Why yes of course, its those rich people's fault that people commit violent crimes.

What, nobody wants to help prevent violent crimes?
You own a gun. How many violent crimes have you prevented?

So you don't think wealth disparity is a cause of crime?
Then why does America's crime rate look more like a third world country than an industrialized one?

I am.
I'm for economic reform.
I'm also against ending easy access to guns.
Both are causes of crime... and I want to fix both.
I'm getting more and more the feeling that you are just giving up.

No fear of repercussions.
Lack of self-accountability.
Lack of two parent engaged families.
The attitude you can do anything as long as it feels good.

I'm for education reform because there are too many ignorant people such as yourself, running around voting and screwing up this country.

Then by that logic, the vastly more permissive societies of Europe should have higher crime rates than we do.
They don't.
We lock up 2 million people and Germany only locks up 78,000.
It would strike me that if fear of reprecussions and lack of accountability were the issue, Germany would be overrun with crime.
Yet last year, they had 258 gun murders compared to our 11,000.

Well do the math, idiot. There population is less than 4 times ours and the UK is around 5 times. Compared to the UK, Germany has a high rate and it's probably because of unification with East Germany. Those people were stressed for a long period of time. I think drugs is also becoming a factor in Europe.
The writing is on the wall that America has big time problems. Why try to deny it?

8,583 gun homicides out of 400,000,000 guns in private ownership in 2011 doesn't rise to a big time problem.
The 8583 having dropped annually since 2007 with more guns in private hands.

So even taking that into account, they should still lock up half a million people and have 4000 gun murders a year.
And they don't.
Math isn't your strong point, is it?
