Criminals should be very happy since they know that they can just go to a gun show or on the web and buy guns without worrying about a background check.
Hooray

So I guess my posts have been a little wordy for you...

Go to a gun show and tell me if you can buy a gun without a background check. My guess is that you can't.

That's because nobody has said they are going to come take guns. But that's not what I said. I said they want to. It's not all anti-gunners (a small minority of them, I'd guess). A handful of politicos who, given the opportunity, would be completely in favor of taking guns away from all law abiding citizens.

I have said before (probably in this sprawling thread) that I think gun confiscation is unlikely, primarily because it would be prohibitively expensive and a logistical nightmare. But, if the day came that the idea somehow gained enough traction to be executed, where would be the logical place to start? Wherever there's a paper trail. And as long as the possibility exists, however remote, it is a legitimate concern.

I think the loss of life would be very high as well.

They keep referring to their "common sense" legislation. I disagree. It's "feel good" legislation and little more.

I'm not a member of the NRA. I'm not particularly fond of the NRA. The NRA has nothing to do with where I stand on this issue.

Couldn't law abiding citizens still get guns if it would have passed?

Yes.

The problem is, as I see it, pro gun-control folks have demonstrated again and again that they are not interested in listening to people with extensive firearms experience. They don't want to hear any of our "common sense" while they are cramming new laws down our throats and screaming to the masses that we're being unreasonable and can't even accept their "common sense" regulations. They never wanted to hear the reality of why their laws don't make any sense and will not solve any problems.

There are millions of people in the U.S. in prison who never hurt anyone. I'm not interested in being scrutinized by the force that is responsible for such atrocities.

I only hope there are people willing to work on finding areas of compromise.

So what WILL make sense? What should I be listening to?

That's a horrible argument and a bullying tactic. People who favor police intervention and powers constantly use it to silence opposition, because who wants to admit they have things they want to hide?

Everyone has things they want to hide, including me, and I'll wager including you.

Not from the government. If me having to give a background check in order to keep a few guns away from a few lunatics than so be it.
