If someone is so dangerous to the society that we don't trust him with a gun, why do we allow him to walk among us, to be near our children, and to have access many things that are more dangerous than guns?
How does a background check prevent crime exactly if it actually does? When was the last time background check actually prevented a crime? Criminals have never had trouble with getting a gun. Background check is just like a restraining order which never stopped a husband from killing his spouse.
Wouldn't it be more effective to have a "gun test?" If the person can't be trusted with a firearm, he or she should remain incarcerated.
Criminals don't need to have a background check, they can get whatever weapons they want and will do it outside of the law.
Your every day person who wants to acquire a weapon legally will take the background check.
Doing away with background checks won't make less gun violence.
However, every instance of gun violence isn't with an unregistered firearm either.
The problem isn't with the registration of firearms, it's with people who use firearms to commit violence.
We don't trust those convicted of a DUI with driving a car (at least for awhile) but yet they can walk.
Again, it can simply be a deterrent.
If I follow the liberal logic of "my life triumph your rights," why should we allow those dangerous people to walk on the street?
It defies common sense to implement background check to do what? Feel better? I don't feel anybody knowing those dangerous people are among us. At least "gun free zone" makes me feel better.

This isn't a "liberal/conservative" thing and that you have to make so probably should let the rest of us understand we are wasting our time.

I can buy all the guns I want without one. Matter of fact, if I wanted one I would make sure to buy one from a source where I didn't have to bother with a background check.
There have been a lot of times that ex felons haven't been offered an opportunity because of the stigma. If they have served their time, what is the big deal of offering them a second chance? Sheesh, they cannot even purchase a gun to defend themselves and their loved ones? Talking about being judgmental. Holy Crap!
A lot of companies have a blanket policy that excludes anyone who's had any contact with the criminal justice system.
My mom's retail stores hired two ex felon who happened to be former military. The way I see it they are more disciplined than ANY civilians I know. They always show up 15 minutes prior and they are hard workers who never give you any trouble.
I have no ideas why some people act so superior. Your angelic son or husband might be a closet child molester, Just sayin'

we are a country that believes in second chances, for the most part. however we couch those second chances by spoon feeding these convicted felons and making them work to re earn their rights. thus we let these convicted felons walk the streets after they have spent some time in prison. if they decide to follow the rules of society, then they can get their rights back through due process. if not then we send them back to prison to finish out their sentence, along with adding on what ever else we decide to punish them with.

Well, even the dishonorably discharged soldiers cannot own a gun legally. I find it ridiculous to be completely honest.

I'm really not singling you out; in fact, I happen to agree with you in regard to people being offered a second chance. However, how quickly would YOU [or someone you know] sue a company for negligent hiring of an ex-con that turns around and rapes, robs or assaults you?
