You fit right in with the Liberals, not just for firearms, where a person must prove thier innocence, therefore assumed guilty until proven otherwise.

A right delayed is a right denied, by placing the burden of proof on the accused (universally and unjustly accused) you can create an indefinite delay.

Background checks, Brady Bill, GCA, all of them, are pure BS.

Drugs like heroin and cocaine are illegal.....and people still buy that stuff. So if it’s illegal for you to purchase/ own a gun, people are still going to buy guns. The second the liberal sheeple realize this is nothing more than priming the pump for gun confiscation.

They believe a national gun registry is the answer and the federal government should have control versus states.

Wanna know what a bigger fricking problem is.....doctors overprescribing opioids. Talk about tearing apart families by the pill. Yet they are licensed and sanctioned by govt, but those Big Pharma kickbacks are quite nice.

The same thing they mean every time they discuss guns:
We want to take all weapons from private citizens and force you to live in tyranny and be completely controlled and dependent on the state. Your right to self defense is so fundamental that if we strip you of this we can easily control you.

How does a “background check” predict how a person will act in the future? The idea that a “background check” is going to reform criminal behavior is... frankly... silly.

Private sellers at gunshows? What is the negative in this?



We can see you have never been to a gun show or attempted to buy a gun at a gun show.

Same logic could be said on the following:

Crossing the border is illegal and people still cross the border. Putting up a wall won't stop people from crossing.

original argument was to require background checks on all private (non dealer/FFL) sales


I can see this type of sale becoming criminalized. Whoever the poor bastard is who sold a gun(s) to that dick is in store for some shite too. Not saying I agree really.

we all know this is just a stepping stone to buybacks and confiscation



Buybacks will be tried but only make it so far as voluntary as a “we tried” gesture.

NOW - when a leftist begins advocating for "universal background checks" you can bet that what they REALLY mean is "have you ever been a conservative or voted for a conservative??" as the root question they want to use as an excuse to disarm the rational public. 


The problem is that people will compromise freedom for safety. And they are trained to do it all the time. Think about the Patriot Act. How about the Sedition Act of 1918 (contrary to my posting habits, I'm more well read that I appear).

I agree with you Bandit, but do you honestly believe your average Joe will fight against this?

I think "honest Joes" will - but the question is = "how many 'honest Joes' do we have left in America?"

I fear that we have become populated with too large a bunch of nihilist parasites courtesy of our failed 'education' system and abdication of parental obligations.

Time is running out on our ability to save ourselves - I am not optimistic.

Perhaps I have not pre-qualified all my posts with my standard = "Do NOT compromise with DEMOCRATs on ANY gun control legislation - NONE - as long as they are acting in bad faith."

HOWEVER - I feel a person should perform his own "character check" on anyone he loans or sells a firearm to. There are people who I would not loan my lawnmower to, let alone my 30-06.

I wold not sell my truck to some meth-head looking character. Why would you want me to NOT make those judgements??

A person has the right to bear firearms - nothing says I have to assist him in exercising that right unless I think he is of good character.

Just like I dont fee compelled to build a platform and round up an audience for you to exercise your 'right to free speech' - especially if I profoundly disagree with your opinions and policies. Get your own platform and audience.

Your 'rights' do not impose any sort of liability on me.
