Quote of the Day
The idea of undergoing and passing background checks as a prerequisite to exercising the Second Amendment should have never been a thought even in the darkest corners of the most communist minds of the most radical left-wing ideologues, not only because it violates the rights of American citizens but also because it puts undeserving Americans in legal jeopardy and in physical danger.
According to the Government Accountability Office, in 2017, the NICS background check system denied 112,090 people the right to purchase a firearm. Of those 112,090 denials, only 12,710 were investigated. We have to ask ourselves: If over 112,000 people were denied but only 12,710 investigations took place, wouldn’t that be clear evidence that the system is failing and falsely denying good people their right to keep and bear arms?
It gets worse.
That same year, and from that group of 112,090 denials, there were only 12 prosecutions for the crime of attempting to purchase a firearm. Now the anti-gun crowd says, “See, we stopped 12 mass shootings!”
There are problems with that argument.

Should firearms background check system be abolished? | Buckeye Firearms Association
I agree background checks should be abolished. But from a political capital perspective this should be prioritized near the elimination of restrictions on machine guns. It isn’t going to get much traction in the near future.
The first priority should be the severe restriction of gun free zones. Machine guns are a niche issue for hobbyists.
My comment probably wasn’t clear. I was trying to say background check should be near the end of the priority list. Down at the bottom with machine guns.
ah, thanks
And even worse prove only to work at restricting honest people. As no criminal or cartel member has a problem arming themselves and using them offensively.
But as you allude to Joe. Politics is.
Background checks are mostly benign when the politics are held in check, institutions controlled.
Since they are a major part of the nationalize MK ultra project we call communist America?
Your right, we can easily let them keep going till the last. And should, if only to deprive the professional whining caste of something else to whine about.
I see no reason why we can’t just run a go/no go on one’s ID. And leave the firearms records out of it.
Is he OK to buy a gun?
Yup.
Great, thank you. And have a nice day!
We can deal with the rest as society grows up.
Given the garbage now going through the WA state legislature, I’m sure there will be lawsuits involving them soon. HB 1163. It’s a “permit to purchase”.
