You completely avoided my point? The second amendment doesn't say private citizens need run checks on individuals they sell a gun to?
Answer me this... who the hell would enforce that? HOW would they enforce that?
That's not even the real concern here.
The real concern is what might happen if Democrats gain power of the federal government again. In other words, what will they expand the criteria to in order to purchase a weapon?
DumBama made it illegal for anybody on Social Security that can't make out their own bills from buying a firearm. Trump rescinded the idiotic order, but the question is, how many old people on SS were buying guns and killing people with them?
So this is what I fear, because Democrats have proven repeatedly they cannot be trusted. They have a goal in mind, and take incremental steps to achieving that goal, which of course in this case, make it virtually impossible for any American to own a firearm.
'Tis a slippery slope and decades of creeping socialism under Dem governance has proven that they are not to be trusted ... ever.
As we post some of 'em claim that the US is already a socialist state so what is the harm in a bit more, and a bit more, and a bit more, and...
Being older has many disadvantages, but also advantages of being there when things happened.
I remember when liberals were for letting gays out of the closet. That's all they wanted, and they would be happy. Fast forward to today, gays are not only getting married, but they conned the Supreme Court to force their marriages in every state against their will, and are even adopting children.
I remember when liberals wanted a smoking ban in movie theaters. That's wall they wanted, and they would be happy. Fast forward to today, and you can't smoke in many public places, and even outdoors or in your car in liberal states.
I remember when they wanted a ban on lead gasoline. That's all they wanted, and they would be happy. Fast forward to today, and they tried to close down coal mines and power plants. They want people to quit eating meat because the animals expel gas that may hurt the environment.
Democrats say they only want X to be happy, but when they are not, it advances to Y, then Z, then who knows where. So why do I not believe them when they say all they want are background checks of all guns???????
