Ok, you had your vote.

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?"

There SHOULD be a background check..........to VOTE!


In all but about five states, ID is required to vote. In most states,
no ID is required to buy a handgun.

Your lies and distortions are getting old...

Hey, moron, check out the laws on private sales. First, from the NRA:

....then, for further explanation, from the Law Center to Prevent Gun
Violence:

You'll note they're not in disagreement, but you can link to each
state's statutes, if you're a skeptic.

There are six states that require background checks on private sales,
and two additional states that require bookkeeping or reporting of
private sales.

In most states, it's "Katie Bar the Doors, We've got a buyer, and he
has a pulse -- and some money!"

So wake up.
