ExactlySomebody wants a gun they'll get one
So what? Do you have to go through a background check to buy a car? Pressure Cooker? Both have been used in mass murders.What The So-Called Gun Show Loophole Really Looks Like
As Fred Nelson shuffled through a crowded convention center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a man tapped him on the shoulder to ask about a gun. In the span of about four minutes, he sold two guns to two different strangers for $600. And he did nothing illegal.

Who cares, make it as hard as possible. Ban them for everyone except law enforcement + have mandatory gun buybacks so folks turn them in.
Do you have any good ideas on how to reduce the number of school shootings in the U.S.? Based on the recent mass shootings in NY and Texas, should the minimum age for firearm purchase be 21?I'm not apposed to background checks, most gun show venders are reputable dealers and require them anyways.
That's from my experience in Idaho.
From your source,
Studies have generally found some evidence that universal background checks help reduce gun violence, but the research is less than compelling. Recent research found that over 10 years, universal background checks had no effect on gun homicide or suicide rates in the state of California.
And the background check needs some improvement.What The So-Called Gun Show Loophole Really Looks Like

Yes, some. Why are you speaking in such weaselly, absolute terms? Nobody claims a law against something stops all instances of it happening.So overturning RvW will not stop abortions (it won't) but new laws will stop people from selling guns to each other? (it won't)

Yes, much more clear and clearly wrong.It isn't going to stop a single person that wants a gun. Better?
I'm interested in the 'Strict Liability' argument. With a required insurance policy covering it.
Meaning, if you are the owner of record of a firearm then a portion of any harm caused by that gun falls on the owner of record.
"Who owns the gun?".....need be among the first questions asked in a gun-violence incident. And that 'owner' automatically has a share of the liability.
Yes, that means if your 17yr old takes the gun from your bedside nightstand and shoots his football rival.....YOU are liable to a degree determined by statute or jury. Same goes, if some vandal steals it from under your pick-up seat while you stop for a brewski.
It also means every friggin' gun in America has an owner-of-record. And that OOR is on the hook for the harm that gun may cause.
In that proposal, we would expect gun ownership to be elevated to a much higher level of responsibility than it currently is. Meaning, folks will go to greater lengths to secure their weapons, and it means that private enterprise insurance companies will apply their for-profit standards on who they insure and who they won't...and at what cost.
Owning a gun has responsibilities.....and those responsibilities come with societal costs. And personal liability.
Yes, much more clear and clearly wrong.
People like you are why we need it.Piss off
