Get over it.







You were trying hard to punish innocent people for the crimes



of so very few criminals.



In what way is requiring a background check (less of a background check than is required to be a crossing guard in my town) before purchasing a lethal weapon "punishment?"





It's the slippery slope, Ranger...
It's the fist step of confiscation.

In what way?

As punishment, I'm referring to the inability to protect one's life
and family.

Please elaborate. How in the world does prohibiting convicted violent felons and dangerously mentally ill people from purchasing lethal weapons take away your ability to protect your life and family (unless you are afraid that you couldn't pass such a background check yourself)?
