I was merely trying to make the point that everything that government does to try to make it harder on the criminal has no affect on the criminal, only the law abiding.I see nothing in these statements where a BACKGROUND CHECK would have stopped people from purchasing firearms. Clearly, the LA riots situation was due to the WAITING PERIOD, which I've already stated that I'm expressly against.
Being on a list doesn't scare me ... I'm already on a ton of lists. I have a C&R, I've posted here, I'm an NRA member, I have sent politicians many many letters about various second amendment issues. No sir, even if I never filled out a 4473, I'm already on "the list".Also, if being on the evil "federal.GOV" $hitlist scares you so much, why not simply purchase your weapons from LEGAL person to person sales, where no background check is involved.
My point is that background checks don't prevent criminals from getting guns, only inconvenience the law abiding and could conceivably be used to prevent law abiding citizens from buying guns.
