Default Background checks for gun purchases

DISTRO PRUNED

On the surface, this seems like it could be a reasonable proposition,
but it's worth noting that Adam Lanza didn't buy the guns he used to
commit his massacre, and Nancy Lanza almost certainly would have
"passed" a background check. In other words, if this proposal had
been in effect prior to the Newtown massacre, it would have had no
effect in preventing the massacre.

This is the classic illogic of hysterical leftists: use an event to
try to enact a fix that would not have prevented the event.


Hmm , the guys that do the crimes are already breaking laws ... what makes
anybody think that they'll obey any new ones ? This is the major flaw in any
gun ban/register/grab scenario , IMO . More laws won't make any difference
in the people that shouldn't have guns , they're aleady breaking the law !
The only ones that'll be punished are those who already at least attempt
to live within the law . And if they go ahead and pass the legislation ,
they'll only end up creating a new , very large and well-armed class of
criminal . Something like 20 million guns sold in the last 3 weeks , IIRC .
And boo-koo phonetic phrench ammo to go with them ...
Almost makes me wish I still had more than the shotgun and Dad's Arisaka
....

BTW Gunner I know you'll see this I've decided to wait and see if I can
find some brass locally . Not that your price was unreasonable , all things
considered , but it's just not worth the cost to me at this time of limited
monetary resources .
