Democrats are some confused people.bSo they would have us to get a back ground check before buying a gun. But Democrats also say a person shouldn't have to have picture ID to vote. Their conflicted I tell ya,conflicted.

What consequences did industrialization have on the gun?

The conversation about background checks is pointless. Convicted felons can't legally possess firearms, but how many violent crimes are committed by convicted felons?

So are our means of communication. Perhaps it's time we considered some alterations to the First Amendment. It doesn't apply to television, radio, or the Internet, for example

In my opinion the problem is when you decide which "mental illnesse" deprive you of your right to have a gun.
And who decides this? What would happen is that sane people taking appropriate meds would lose rights to own weapons and people with issues may avoid treatment to avoid losing gun rights.

I've never understood the big fear of universal background checks.
FFL holders are required to do background checks.
Private citizens without such licenses are under no such obligation. I've never understood the desire to regulate these transactions between presumably law-abiding citizens.
Loughner purchased his pistol at a FFL dealer, and underwent a background check. Although it is rare, it does happen.
Lanza killed his mother for her guns. Kliebold and Harris got proxies to buy their guns - even if it were "the law" that private transactions would require a background check - these would not have helped, because the transfers themselves were illegal - highly unlikely Lanza would have run a background check on himself - tipping off the authorities to his murdering his mother - likewise, the suppliers of Kliebold and Harris would not have run a background check, because they were acting illegally as well.
I've never understood the big fear of lawfully armed citizens.

Methods of surveillance have increased drastically. Throw out the 4th Amendment.

Registration wouldn't take away your right to own a gun anyways.
It is the last step before confiscation (or some extreme regulation of a handful of privileged individuals) - it is wholly inconsistent with the Second Amendment.

The government has no business knowing who owns a gun and who doesn't.

Where does the government derive the right to know about when I buy guns?

We can't allow anyone who has taken antidepressants to own a handgun due to the threat of them using it to shoot themselves.

Clearly you're a very intelligent person. I like how you avoided personal attacks and instead directly addressed what I posted.

The closer they get to big-time power...the more intoxicated they become. Universal axiom. Power corrupts. That's why the Founders wrote the Constitution in a way that LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
But we can trust Obama/Progs.
Oh well. Live and learn. Again and again.
