Background checks?

[Auld Phart]

It wasn't until this gun owner applied for a Concealed Carry Permit that it was found out he had been lying on them

Defense: Shooter's dad was never told he couldn't have guns


How about before you make them universal, you work on making them work?

The Left really doesn't care if they work or not. Europeans are disarmed by their governments and therefore controlled, and that is what the Democrats ultimately seek here, if they could arrange it. Fortunately, they have been rendered completely impotent on the issue.

 

[PredFan]

Because it isn't about safety. It never has been. Gun control is ONLY about control.

 

[Vastator]

Crazy... Sounds like TPTB dropped the ball on this one. If it holds true, I think his defense will succeed.

See...if only we had super, dooper, extra special, super cool....background checks...then no criminals would ever get guns, never ever......just like this guy......see, he went through just regular background checks...over and over and over again....but the super, dooper, extra special, super cool background check would have caught him....for real...like.....

 

[Missourian]

So, let me get this straight...the government says he lied on his background check application form, and that was all it took to defeat the system.

Do they think prohibited persons are going to tell the truth???

But, there is a solution that anti-gun folks will believe to be absolutely brilliant.

Make all firearm retailers "Lie Free Zones"!

Problem solved.

 

[Auld Phart]

I can just see them trying that.


LOL

this clomn explains how much trouble gun rights are in if a democrat wins the next election......

Repeal Second Amendment? Supreme Court Could Make It a Dead Letter | National Review Online

It is certain that the next Democratic nominee for the Supreme Court will adopt that same ahistorical view, and if that nominee replaces, for example, Justice Kennedy or Justice Scalia, then the five-justice majority in District of Columbia v. Heller will be gone. If that majority goes, then the next gun-rights case will transform the Second Amendment into nothing more than a historical artifact of the era when the militia consisted of able-bodied men with muskets over their mantles.

If Heller is overruled, then the regulatory state can launch a systematic, undemocratic effort to deter gun ownership even without true confiscation. If Heller is overruled, then the regulatory state, in all its immense power, can launch a systematic, undemocratic effort to deter gun ownership even without true confiscation.

The appeal of regulatory action is obvious. A Democratic president can use his or her left-wing bureaucracy to implement a host of regulations without an act of Congress and then veto any legislative effort to undo his or her reforms. It’s easy to imagine the regulatory possibilities — regulatory action against ammunition; public-employee rules creating “gun-free employment communities” that prohibit or greatly restrict private gun ownership by public employees; aggressive regulatory action against various types of ammunition; OSHA rules that require employers to restrict employees’ gun rights on “work safety” grounds. The list could go on and on.

Few would comply, and then what would they do?

It doesn't matter. There are over 100,000,000 legal gun owners, 40 times the number of active military personnel, many of whom would resist as well.

They would have something to say about it.

Not all Americans have been emasculated. Only the Democrats.
