There is no way to create a working background check system.
Criminals get their guns by stealing them, or by using straw purchasers, people who can pass background checks who buy the guns for the criminals....thereby going around current federally mandated background checks and any future universal background check. And today, almost all first time rejections in background checks are for people who can legally own guns but get hit by a glitch in the system...
So could you explain how a background check system is supposed to work...when all evidence from the last 20 years show that it doesn't.......?
You throw people in jail who have anything to do with straw purchases. How is there not a way to crate a proper background check system? Before a couple of years ago a car couldn't go faster than 50 miles an hour on electricity, now you can.
What difference does it make to you? You don't even want a properly functioning background system. You guys just want to claim anyone who believes there should be at least some amount of gun control to be Nazis or akin to ISIS.
we already have a proper background check system..criminals just don't use it......if someone has a clean record they will pass any background check you can come up with....amd then they can sell or give their gun to a criminal....
I want a real system....put a tattoo on the shoulder of convicted felons....then you can check and immediately know if the buyer can buy the gun......felons will not be avle to even enter a gun store or gun show.
OK....now tell me what to do with the crazies? People with mental issues are more often than not major offenders. I repeat....what is wrong with a thorough cross checking examination and a 45 day waiting period?
Name one mass shooter that we have had that would have been stopped by a 45 day waiting period....research has shown mass shooters plan their attacks 6 months to 2 years in advance....well over your 45 day period....
mentally ill shooters are a timy number of all shooters.....amd the best way to catch them is with mental jphealth professionals....but......the colorado theater shooter and the sandy hook shooter both had contact with mental health professionals...didn't stop them.
cross checking examinations only work for those who submit to them...if criminals steal their guns and use people who can pass any examination to buy their guns for them...you can see why they don't work to stop criminals and mass shooters.
