Hi Agent Mike!
Edit: For my job as an airport worker I had to submit to a full background check including fingerprints and a US Customs background check with 10 years of work and residence history. That's just to move rubber dogs*t out of Hong Kong. To buy a gun I don't even have to do the background check.Last edited by Jimjamesak; 01-04-2015, 01:11 AM.

I am not necessarily opposed to registration, a ban on all sales that do not involve a "transfer of title" similar to buying a car, and criminal liability for gun owners in cases where a gun registered to a particular owner is used in the commission of a crime, and it is determined that the owner was negligent in storing/trigger locking/otherwise taking reasonable precautions to ensure that their weapon could not be used by someone other than themselves. I don't view it as a privacy issue. However, I also do not feel that such laws will do much to prevent crimes in which guns are involved.

And we wonder why nothing gets done. Don't overreach.
Closing the loophole makes a lot of common sense. A registry seems intrusive and not really sure how it would help.
I don't actually believe that closing the loophole is a slippery slope to a registry. It was a strawman trope. A joke...

Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.
You know, the irony of this argle-bargle is that I just finished reading a book The 15 Biggest Lies in Politics. It's from the Clinton era, but still rings somewhat true. Among the lies presented are, "The Abortion Debate Matters", "Immigration Hurts America", "All Politicians are Corrupt", "The Environment - it's Mother Earth or Mother Lode", "Republicans Believe in Smaller Government"/"Democrats are Compassionate", and "Gun Control Reduces Crime".
Aren't wedge issues great?

Why should just ANYONE be able to go to a gun show and buy a gun? Convicted felon? Go to a gun show. Clinically insane nutjob? Go to a gun show. No background check required at all in 33 states. That's a pretty big freaking loophole, no?
