Gun Control Bill

[BanginJimmy]

A gun is my private property. My private property and what i do with it is none of your business. I've been saying "why" for a pretty good while now.... i feel like there's a 60 page thread somewhere around here discussing this issue.

I do not support universal background checks. I do not support my doctor inquiring about my private property. I am perfectly fine with gun culture in america. I dont see a need to reduce gun or ammunition sales by 1 gun or a single bullet. I am offended even by the name of this bill "safe communities, safe schools act" its nothing more than political posturing so during the next debate they can say "republicans voted against safe schools".... i've said that before.... a dozen times. I posted a video of a constitutional lawyer reviewing this bill......

A gun is private property. You can do whatever you wish with it on your own property (provided you have enough property to use it safely). If you want to sell that weapon to another individual, I dont think it is unreasonable to ask the seller and buyer to do a simple background check to make sure the buyer is legally allowed to own a firearm.

The real question, and one I have a hard time answering is, is this even enforceable without 1005 gun registry? I dont know that it is.

As for doctors asking about weapons, there is absolutely no reason they shouldnt be able to ask, especially if they can articulate a specific reasoning to believe you ma hurt yourself or others. At the same time, there is no reason you should be compelled to answer if you dont want to.

but you all swiftly disregard my posts.

Because you post some much BS it gets tiresome sifting through it to find a reasonable post.

Regarding the limitation of or ability to exchange them between law abiding citizens, no. I see no reason for the federal government to have an inventory of my gun collection or how and where i acquired them. When i commit a crime, punish me. A felon purchasing a gun is against the law, when a felon victimizes me by purchasing one of my guns, punish him.

Enforceability?

So you feel like the amount of violent crime with guns is at an acceptable level and there's nothing we should do about it?

There are absolutely zero links between legal gun ownership and gun crime.

There are laws already in place to cover felons. Are you a felon? If not, then your questions above do not apply to you.

The strange thing about felons is that they have a hard time abiding by the law.



I get why people would be against background checks and I get why people want them. Until the question of enforceability is answered though, I just dont know how much good it can do.
