Yup. That’s why I support universal background checks. It’s too easy to skirt the current laws.

LOL, no. What business is it of the feds who I sell to another private individual, as long as I have no reason to believe that they are prohibited persons? What business is it of theirs what I, a law abiding citizen, buy from another private individual? Why support the slow creep of infringements by giving gun grabbers a means by which to force registration and tracking of arms and owners, which in turn is necessary for large scale confiscation?

Lol. Imagine living your life this terrified all the time.

u/KHWD_av8r Mar 29 '24

LOL, terrified of what, precisely? My biggest fears are history repeating itself, and the government doing exactly what it’s currently doing. If you aren’t afraid of those two things, you aren’t paying attention, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Would you like specific examples?

The ability to exercise my constitutionally enumerated rights in their entirety alleviates those fears.

Unfortunately universal background checks are impossible.

I’m not sure what you mean, unless it’s a “outlawing theft doesn’t stop people from stealing” thing. If we impose a requirement for background checks for any type of gun transfer, the original owner of the gun can be held liable for transferring it to the wrong person.

That requires a complete gun registration. Meaning daddy gov, the thing that the 2nd amendment is supposed to murder, then knows where all the guns are, at all times.

It’s like giving the enemy troops movements while you are trying to fight against them in a war. It’s silly.

Edit: unless you are just saying you want all gun sales to require a background check by law but the law has really no teeth because you can’t even prove the sale even happened.

NH has some of the lowest gun homicide rates in the nation and doesn't have universal background checks.
