Jason,
Real criminals can buy guns without background checks. There is a black market.
…and getting caught with one is a crime. Which will result in a serious blip in your criminal career. It's all about politics to you isn't it, PissAnt?
I used to sell guns…in a sporting goods store…no gun should be sold in a store or a show, to anyone, with out a background check…I have purchased two firearms…I would have no problem submitting to a background check to buy either…um, cause I'm not afraid of my background.
Mentally ill people with no underworld connections can't easily buy guns on the black market, though. Besides. Don't you people always tell us at election time that it's all about jobs and the economy. Once you get elected that all goes to the bottom of your priority list and it's all about giving the highest priority to sparing people the occasional wait for a firearms purchase, restricting choice, allowing businesses to refuse to serve LGBT people and the like. Obviously all of these issues are far more important to you than anything to do with jobs or the economy and especially with doing anything to help regrow a healthy, prosperous middle class. Is somebody having to wait a few extra hours for a gun due to a clerical error really the most important thing your people can think of that desperately needs fixing?
crickets
So Mini Timmy doesn't already have a Glock under his bed to protect himself until the paperwork on his latest background check clears? I can't imagine that this is the first and only gun he's ever tried to buy.
Rep. Neville is an Army veteran. Lots of experience prior to this with weapons.
And with clerical errors that result in delays in properly processing paperwork. He also should be aware of the level of training that is neccesary to entrust a soldier with a weapon, but prefers to arm the populace willy-nilly with concealed weapons without even the low-level of training that is neccesary today.
No doubt MiniTimmy has a small arsenal under his bed — the monsters that live under there are vicious, don't you know.
But, you're missing the bigger picture here, it's much more important that already armed-to-the-teeth MiniTimmy be able to get yet another newer, shinier bang-bang on a moment's notice than it is to have any system that makes it even slightly more difficult to sell or transfer other bang-bangs to any anybody actually covicted of "crimes such as homicide, kidnapping, sexual assault, burglary, and drug offenses."
Personally I think that some ballsy and thinking Democratic legislator should counter this year's nutter offensive with their own bills requiring something like a 48-hour waiting period on all commercial firearms sales, and a second bill requiring a safety certification class. Let's have a real debate on firearms safety issues . . .
. . . let the mewling and the howling begin . . .
(These Neville mongoloids and their Fudley sponsor are going to demonize rational, thinking folks anyway, F 'em! I've lost all tolerance for these idiots and their many idiotic cultist religions, their science denying, and their bullying bluster. Again I say, F 'em!)
I like your attitude; the best defense is a strong offense! I wonder if any of their bill titles are broad enough to allow for a strike-below amendment and a piece of legislation which is 180 degrees different……. 🙂
We need to abolish background checks. For the children!
+12!
Show me in the Bible where Jesus supported background checks?!?
Personally I prefer the Neville Brothers from New Orleans rather the Neville family from Colorado. That's how you "tell it like it is."
Regards, C.H.B.
I prefer the House of Neville from the War of the Roses.
+!00, CHB. Me, too!
If Obama had suddenly declared himself a monarch and sought to put all Republicans into prisons, those eight hours might have made all the difference between tyranny and freedom. Think about it.
Time to take a not-really-contrary position. Just as we shouldn't be convicting innocent people, or our law enforcement harassing or killing innocent civilians, we also shouldn't be denying or unnecessarily delaying people who are law-abiding from exercising their Constitutional rights – to guns or anything else.
There are a lot of "clerical errors" in our society that harm peoples' rights, privileges, and dignity. I'd support any effort to reduce clerical errors in the system so that it might be more accurate and responsive.
