Should you have to get a background check to sell computers?

[2aguy]

computers can be used for horrible crimes...sex trafficking, child porn, cyber bullying, stealing state secrets, identity theft......

Since computer criminals who are felons often are not allowed to have access to computers...should all computer sales require a background check? It only makes sense..right....?

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

I voted yes because an innocent person has nothing to hide. If certain people do have histories, them histories should be known because you never know if a person has changed or not until they have done again what they did in their past.

God bless you always!!!

I voted no. 99.999999% of computer buyers are just like you and me. Plus many buy them online. Would be hard for a background check that way.
We start that and we may as well get background checks on every single thing we buy.

Dang! I had better stock up on Trail Mix before the background checks.

You still have that sig. You know it's given me whiplash, right?

I'm getting rid of it. A couple of posters have adopted it. Maybe I'll use this one.

And that is the rub, isn't it.....and exactly where the anti gun left is taking us....

This fails as a false comparison fallacy.

That you have to ask is further proof of your stupidity.

How is it different from a gun? Crimes are committed with computers...some truly heinous crimes against children.....and yet if an offender is legally barred from having access to a computer by a court, there is no way to make sure they can't actually buy a computer.......right?

True. BUT I do agree with the background (which we already do have on place) for guns. No one is going to kill me with a computer. But, they sure could with a gun...if I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...

I see where you are going with this though.

Name calling makes you look like a big shot! (actually it shows you have nothing much to say)
