Should DUI be part of criminal background check for gun purchase?

There seems to be a consensus emerging on the USMB right that all background checks are unconstitutional.
"shall not be infringed".
SCOTUS has already upheld restricted gun ownership and banning certain types of weapons.
This is a lie.
No such case exists and you know it.
Disagree?
Cite the ban in question, the case that upholds that ban, and the text in the case so doing.

Do you not get it, the Constitution is what SCOTUS says it is.
Yes....
The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home

You are one of those who lack sense, apparently, and also home schooled.

You are wrong today and tomorrow on this issue. That you don't like it means squat.

Besides, there are those with drinking problems that do choose not to drive...ever. Should they also be denied firearms? )

HAHAHA. You don't even understand the issue. No one is saying alcoholism by itself means you should be disarmed. It's the DUI conviction that counts.

That is the law of the land.

Where does the constitution say the Supreme Court has the final word on what the C means.? Answer - nowhere. Letting the SC interpret the C is just a silly custom. If anything the states should have the power as per the 10A.
 
Oh, yeah, you forgot to tell SCOTUS that subject to Article III of the U. S. Constitution, which gives it jurisdiction in all matters constitutional, that it has no jurisdiction on matters constitutional. The states lost that power you claim under the 10th from 1861 to 1865.

But it further limits those arms to common usage.

HAHAHAHAHA. Such ignorance. Article III says no such thing. In fact nowhere does the constitution say who has the authority to interpret it and that means, by the 10A, the states have it.

BTW - the civil war did NOT change the 10A. You want to change the constitution you have to go thru the amending process.
 
•A user of illegal drugs or an addict.

•Involuntarily committed to a mental institution.

•An illegal alien.

•Dishonorably discharged from the armed forces.

•Renounced your U.S. citizenship.

•Subject to a restraining order for threatening a family member.

•Convicted of domestic violence.

State Laws Come Into Play Also
The NCIS can also deny a firearm transfer based on any applicable state laws. For example, if your state has a law prohibiting the possession of a specific type of firearm, the NICS can deny your transfer even though possession of that firearm is not prohibited by federal law.
The Brady Law was designed to make sure that only law-abiding citizens can purchase and own firearms, but critics claim that the law only created a huge black-market demand for illegal guns sales to criminals.
Reasons You Can Be Denied a Firearm Transfer
 
Of course. Hell - People are routinely denied gun rights for NON-violent drug crimes like a 20 year old pot possession conviction. DUI is an extremely violent drug crime and evidence the criminal is a psychopath with no concern for the lives of others.


Of course not. DUI is still a misdemeanor. It has nothing to do with if you are a person that would be dangerous with a gun.

However, I don't think pot should be illegal, so your argument is doubly wrong.

Absolutely should be....if you are willing to be dangerous with a motor vehicle, you show a callous disregard for the safety of others.

^^^^^^Says the scotch screamer :badgrin:
 
I am not a lib, and you are merely an ultra reactionary trying to pretend to be "conservative."

And you whine about name calling, silly rabbit.
 
Should DUI be part of criminal background check for gun purchase?

No and neither should 90% (or so) of domestic violence charges.

DUI is an extremely violent drug crime. How can you endorse denying guns for mere pot possession but accept letting psychopath drunk drivers have all the guns they want.? THINK
