Well, heck, having effective background checks is exactly the same as confiscation of all guns from law abiding citizens, leaving only the criminals armed.
Have any of you ever actually bought a gun? Do you have first-hand knowledge of the process? Or are you just regurgitating the old BS about how it’s all the NRAs fault? The background check process, supported by the NRA I might add, prevented more than a million people from purchasing a gun between its inception and the time a CNN article was written in 2013.
I hope that somewhere in the universe there is a functional democratic republic where the people’s wants and needs are actually met by their representatives as their highest priority.
Why aren’t there better background checks on those who hold government offices? There’s a third of the White House staff that do not have a full security clearance, and that’s considering that there isn’t a complete staff. But Donald never had a background check and I seriously doubt he could pass one. Members of Congress too – they see PLENTY of classified information.
I have purchased 5 hand guns and each time I had to fill out papers giving a lot of my personal information, then wait for them to call in to a place and check on me before I could buy that gun. This is in Ohio. I also had to take training to get a permit.

Come to think about it why aren’t there better background checks on members of the Trump White House staff? You know, for security reasons.

The NRA has also fought against a variety of measures that would handicap an individuals ability to overarm themselves.

I don’t know, because the GOP and NRA have resisted every law regarding guns that have come down the pike? They both love money more than your life.

The GOP is making too much money off of the NRA to worry about who is actually buying guns.

Time to overthrow the murderous minority.
