    Criminals deal with the laws, just the same as anyone else. Right now they don't have to - because they can effortlessly bypass it. You're assuming guns will always be available (and affordable) outside the law. This does not have to be the case. I've made the argument before in this thread...

    When it comes into the possession of somebody who is legally barred for possessing it.

    Since criminals have to steal guns from non-criminals, or they have to buy them through personal sales (safest transaction), narrowing the pipeline from legal to illegal guns is desirable. People don't get into crime because they're flush with cash and they don't know what to do with their excess.

    Totally - because all private sales are going to go through FFLs because they can go through FFLs.

    I don't know why you would think I care what your 'principals' opinion is on anything. Should I ask your model girlfriend in Canada? Also, neanderthals had larger brains than homo sapiens. Just sayin.

    The bifurcation fallacy again as well - just because something cannot prevent all crime, does not mean it can't prevent some crime. I've purchased all of my guns through an FFL, and did a background check. I don't consider that a burden.

    Do you care to say anything specific? Or do you want to speak in only scary vagaries? In 4 years, if things go well, you'll have to show that you're not a felon or have a history of domestic violence in order to get a firearm. If things go really bad, you won't.

    I guess you're probably used to being wrong, so this will come as no surprise. http://www.heritage.org/index/ranking http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lif_hap_net-lifestyle-happiness-net

    You might want to get a grip on the subject being discussed.

    UK, Ireland, Switzerland, France, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Italy. I don't see a hell there - in fact, I see countries that have higher standards of living.

    I wouldn't link IQ to the possession of firearms, at least for your sake Hog. And the background check applies to more than just semi-automatic center-fire rifles with detachable magazines.

    Right - because if we simply discarded the background check, no criminal would use freely available over the counter firearms for nefarious purposes, because of their internal sense of honor or something.

    Right, because every other western industrialized nation that has the barest gun control laws quickly slides into totalitarian hell. Oh, hold on a second, that's entirely false. I guess some people around here simply extrapolate whatever imaginary scenario makes them the most excited and assume...

    Are you SERIOUS? Laws don't prevent crime (FALSE!), so laws are useless? What type of strange world do you live in where there is no incarceration for repeat offenders, and no dissuasion from the penalty of breaking a law?
