No compromise!
A repost
"We cannot negotiate with those who say, 'What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable.'"
-- John F. Kennedy, Address to the American People, 25 JUL 1961
Most people tend to substitute the word 'compromise' for the first 'negotiate' in that quote, and it does tend to fit the current circumstances.
Once again the anti-gun people are starting to trot out the tired and hackneyed meme of "compromise" in the "national gun conversation".
No. But you let me know when the jack booted thugs are kicking down doors in NY. Then, I'll top off my mags."I'm not afraid of them coming to take my guns. Because the second amendment works!" You must not live in New York
"...as long as the language of the law states in black and white, that the information gathered is legally useable ONLY for the purpose of the check..."
And how would you know if this was followed? How would you compel enforcement?
The federal government has:
Incarcerated individuals without charges.
Executed individuals without any judicial procedure.
Performed extensive wire tapping and searches without warrant.
Sold firearms to dangerous criminals deliberately as a false flag operation to incite the citizenry against those who own firearms.
What, pray tell, would keep them from retaining the data?
Want to rid ourselves of crime, it's simple. The first time a person is convicted of a gun related crime, or the third time of any felony, they are locked in a 10 by 10 steel room without outside contact. No Windows or TV, or books. After the first few are locked criminals won't take the chance.

Would it be acceptable to give the Sudetenland to Germany, as long as the language of the agreement states in black and white, that the rest of Czechoslovakia will remain sovereign and inviolate?
You presume that I have the tiniest iota of trust or respect for the other side.
I don't.
They're bad people with bad goals and bad motivations, and whose word is worth less than nothing.
No. This was an MSNBC poll. Four of their employees signed up for the NRA. They then asked these four employees whether they support universal background checks. All four said yes, but MSNBC thought that 100% might not be believable, so they switched the answer for one of them and came out with the 75% approval number.
