So the guy selling the gun out of his trunk has to do a background check on the person buying it?
No, moron, not if it is his private property....... but the criminal knows that they can't buy, own or carry a gun, and when caught with the gun, can already be arrested and convicted for it.....we already have this covered.
12 mass public shootings in 2018...... 93 killed.
12 crazy people out of 320 million....
Knives kill over 1,500 people every year...
Bees, Wasps, Dogs, Lawn mowers kill more people every year than mass shooters do....
Do you want to ban dogs? Since they are deadlier than guns used in mass public shootings?
Afraid of Snakes? Wasps and Dogs Are Deadlier
Of the 1,610 people killed in encounters with animals between 2008 and 2015,
478 were killed by hornets, wasps and bees,
and 272 by dogs, according to a study published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine. Snakes, spiders and scorpions were responsible for 99 deaths over the eight years.
Thanks for confirming you were lying earlier. We all knew it but it was good to hear you admit it.
So there is no law against mentally ill people to buy guns in the parking lot of a store that refused to sell the whack job the gun in the first place. Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully you’ll try to be more honest in the future but we both know you’re not capable.
We need to close that loophole and do background checks on anyone buying a firearm.
It’s that simple.
I’m really perplexed at the burning desire you have to avoid background checks. It seems as though the only ones who would have a problem with someone else passing one is if they too were mentally incompetent and crazy.
Moron...... it is against the law for someone who fails a background check to buy a gun from anyone ....you doofus. There is no loophole...if you fail a background check you already know you can't buy, own or carry a gun.....no loophole.
Since Background checks have already failed over and over again....and criminals avoid them by using straw buyers, people who can pass any background check, and mass public shooters pass background checks or get their guns illegally....
You can't show any benefit to background checks.......
They violate the 2nd Amendment, the 4th Amendment, and the 5th Amendment.....but as a fascist, you don't care about individual human Rights...those mass graves gotta be filled....
Its also against the law to shoot people for no reason.
Yet it happens.
So by your logic, we shouldn’t have laws against shooting people.
We need to have every gun sale go through the same rigorous (however you define rigorous) background checks that are done in retail establishments. If they are so frilvilous and won’t keep your fellow paranoid whack jobs and Islamic terrorists in sleeper cells from buying as many guns as they or their Mullahs can afford….why do you care that they are done?
So by your logic, we shouldn’t have laws against shooting people
That stupid argument...again....really? Doofus...laws don't stop crime, they define legal and illegal behavior and set the punishment for illegal behavior. You want to Pre-Crime normal people who own guns while not doing anything to actually stop gun criminals....and then, since you support democrats, you want to let repeat gun offenders out of prison where they will then go on to get more illegal guns and shoot people....you are the problem, not me.
And it has been found out the guy who sold the gun to the Odessa shooter did so illegally, which now means your call for "rigorous" background checks wouldn't have happened because he was selling the gun illegally already....you dumb doofus. This guy selling illegal guns would not have done any background check...you doofus....because he was already willling to sell the gun, knowingly, illegally.....you doofus.
I care because they keep normal people from getting guns........ universal background checks for private, legal sales will cost normal people more money for background checks criminals won't do.....
Also, the background check laws are now designed to make criminals out of normal gun owners....you doofus...
Gun Control Won't Stop Crime
“Universal” Background Checks
Part of the genius of the Bloomberg gun control system is how it creates prohibitions indirectly. Bloomberg’s so-called “universal” background check scheme is a prime example. These bills are never just about having background checks on the private sales of firearms. That aspect is the part that the public is told about. Yet when you read the Bloomberg laws, you find that checks on private sales are the tip of a very large iceberg of gun prohibition.
First, the bills criminalize a vast amount of innocent activity. Suppose you are an nra Certified Instructor teaching an introductory safety class. Under your supervision, students will handle a variety of unloaded firearms. They will learn how different guns have different safeties, and they will learn the safe way to hand a firearm to another person. But thanks to Bloomberg, these classroom firearm lessons are now illegal in Washington state, unless the class takes place at a shooting range.
It’s now also illegal to lend a gun to your friend, so that you can shoot together at a range on your own property. Or to lend a firearm for a week to your neighbor who is being stalked.
Under the Bloomberg system, gun loans are generally forbidden, unless the gun owner and the borrower both go to a gun store first. The store must process the loan as if the store were selling the gun out of its inventory.
Then, when your friend wants to return your gun to you, both of you must go to the gun store again. This time, the store will process that transaction as if you were buying the gun from the store’s inventory. For both the loan and the return of the gun, you will have to pay whatever fees the store charges, and whatever fees the government might charge. The gun store will have to keep a permanent record of you, your friend and the gun, including the gun’s serial number. Depending on the state or city, the government might also keep a permanent record.
In other words, the “background check” law is really a law to expand gun registration—and registration lists are used for confiscation. Consider New York City. In 1967, violent crime in the city was out of control. So the City Council and Mayor John Lindsay required registration of all long guns. The criminals, obviously, did not comply. Thanks to the 1911 Sullivan Act, New York City already had established registration lists for handgun owners.
Then, in 1991, the City Council decided that many lawfully registered firearms were now illegal “assault weapons.” The New York Police Department used the registration lists to ensure that the guns were either surrendered to the government or moved out of the city. When he was mayor of New York City, Bloomberg did the same, after the “assault weapon” law was expanded to cover any rifle or shotgun with an ammunition capacity greater than five rounds.
In Australia and Great Britain—which are often cited as models for the U.S. to follow—registration lists were used for gun confiscation. In Great Britain, this included all handguns; in Australia, handguns over .38 caliber. Both countries banned all semi-automatic or pump-action long guns.
Most American jurisdictions don’t have a comprehensive gun registration system. But even if your state legislature has outlawed gun registration, firearm stores must keep records. Those records could be harvested for future confiscations. Under the Bloomberg system, the store’s list would include not just the guns that the store actually sold, but all the guns (and their owners) that the store processed, for friends or relatives borrowing guns.
