    So they would get guns elsewhere. You shut down corners, pimps, s and drug dealers will go elsewhere. Is the goal to legitimize gun shows?

    Obviously the majority of the Senate didn't agree with your point.


    Drugs are manufactured in third world countries and imported. Whoring is a service and not a good. Guns are manufactured in very well known locations.

    No one is talking about taking down gun shows or other venues. If you were to get pimps s and drug dealers to not sell to certain individuals then what recourse do they have?

    And citing the Senate as a good standard for policy making is hilarious.

    sorry.

    I invoke the slippery slope argument. Just stop this before it starts. We have enough gun laws.
    I invoke the sticky slope argument because it's pretty damn obvious that there are private ins utional barriers to any regulation.

    Slippery slope is just stupidity to justify fearmongering change. There is no slope. It's a visual aid that even stupid people can understand.

    background check ain't gonna work the way you desired imho. it would be something like the drug test on foodstamp recipients, where only a small portion of them got busted as smokers. it saved some money from drug users but operating such tests will cost even more taxpayer money in the end.

    and it's never gonna be easy to identify any potential perverts by reading what they think imho. the biggest challenge is that you never know what other people think. one may appear to be a kind person while being a pervert internally (like someone who's also posting in this thread)
    People with things such as stalking convictions are indeed barred from purchasing guns, and in a lot of cases are not career criminals.

    I fully expect the background checks to pass 95% of the time. It's the other 5% that wouldn't pass that's a concern.

    Again, this isn't about career criminals.

    I don't know and I think a background check if streamlined without much red tape is a pretty common sense idea. My main problem with it is their grouping veterans with PTSD as being not allowed to have them. Until they make a point to protect veterans with PTSD from the DOJ and even DOD.
    PTSD can pretty much up your head. Personally, I wouldn't want such person to own a gun unless there's medical clearance from a doctor.

    Next Week's School Shooting Victims Thank Senate For Failing To Pass Gun Bill

    WASHINGTON—Following the Senate’s rejection of a bipartisan amendment to expand background checks for gun buyers, the young victims of next week’s school shooting emphatically thanked members of Congress today for failing to pass more comprehensive gun control legislation.

    “Great job, guys,” said 14-year-old Jacob Miller, one of nine junior high school students who will be shot next week by a mentally ill gunman wielding a legally acquired assault rifle that was purchased at a gun show.

    “My classmates and I are really proud of you for cowering to the NRA and caring more about politics than my friends and I getting shot and killed.

    It totally makes sense. You’re the best.”

    The soon-to-be massacred teenager added that his parents, Caroline and Pete Miller, also wanted to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the Senate.

    As Senate Filibustered Federal Gun Legislation, Louisiana Advanced Bills To Criminalize Federal Enforcement


    a Louisiana House committee approved eight bills that would relax the state’s already-permissive gun violence prevention laws, including one that would criminalize enforcement of federal law.

    One bill that cleared the House Criminal Justice Committee would make enforcement of any federal restriction on ownership of semi-automatic weapons punishable by up
    to two years in prison
    and/or a $5,000 fine. Another claims to exempt intrastate gun manufacturers from federal regulation by issuing in-state licenses. Both of these laws, versions of which have been introduced in several states, would be clearly uncons utional as a violation of the U.S. Cons ution’s supremacy clause.
    Other proposals approved Wednesday would make it a felony to intentionally disseminate concealed carry permit information, allow off-duty law enforcers to carry firearms into school campuses and restaurants that serve alcohol, permit lifetime concealed carry permits, and allow sheriffs to recognize concealed carry permits from neighboring jurisdictions.


    In November, Louisiana voters passed a ballot initiative that created cons utional gun rights that are arguably stricter than the Second Amendment. A court has already relied on this cons utional amendment to strike down a ban on gun possession by violent felons.

    Meth is an illegal drug and it's made right here in the USA.

    Whoring is an activity but so is buying a gun. You're not very good at this.

    Pussy is manufactured in very well known locations

    No one is talking about manufacturing, about making guns or the guns themselves. They are talking about background checks and your comment was that it would prevent illegal purchases at gun shows. My response that it would only move the illegal purchases outside just as shutting down a corner doesn't eliminate illegal drug or pussy purchases, putting road blocks at gun shows won't stop felons from acquiring guns. Obviously your representatives in the Senate agreed.

    You're not getting gun show dealers to not sell to certain individuals. You're getting them to not sell to certain individuals at gun shows just as you're getting s, dealers and such to not sell on the corner.

    Your President was a senator.

    if 95% can pass and only 5% fail the test, then it might probably not be worth it imho. background checks come with fees and it'll never completely prohibit gun crimes as long as they can still buy guns from illegal sources. and you will never know who's gonna pull out his gun and start shooting around next day or next hour, there're internal perverts who have no record of bad or violent behavior in the past, but who can turn into a mass shooter all of a sudden.

    Not looking to 'completely prohibit gun crimes'... only those gun deaths that could've been prevented with a background check... (all 25 or so of them). How many doesn't matter, IMO. It's preventable loss of life that's well worth the coin, IMO. We spend a load more money tapping people's asses in airports.
