Background checks may well have prevented injuries, and deaths in the past. We may never really know about what never happened.
Making the process more effective, and enforcing it may prevent more.
If background checks jut prevent ONE child death, it would be worth it.

Would you be willing to return to the national 55 MPH speed limit?
That would save many lives. Guaranteed.
Just "common sense," right?

Yeah Yeah, we know.. "It's about the children". We also know that is bull... If it was "about the children", plastic bags would be regulated. So would swimming pools.. Cars would be further regulated. All of these kill more "children" than do firearms. So please spare us your phony "it's about the children". Just come out and say it. It's about your agenda.
The decline began in about 1980, long before the ban, and has been going down since then at roughly the same rate over time. Therefore the ban cannot, by itself, take credit for the decline. Better policing and better laws are the mostly likely reason for the decline.
In the US there has been a massive increase over the last 25 years in the number of privately owned firearms. The Left has always argued that more guns equals more gun related murder. But while this massive increase was occurring the gun homicide rate has dropped 49% since 1993:

Then we'd better ban swimming pools, bicycles, skateboards, minibikes, ATVs and cars.
Every child should be placed in a bubble wrap suit in a 'safe space' at home until they're 18.
Ummm.. Can't use bubble wrap.. Suffocation and choking hazard..
That is irrelevant, bubble wrap cannot be used because it isn't biodegradable.
For all of you who think gun control is an important issue, please review the following chart and find something else to worry about so I, and millions like me, can be left alone without having to worry about you, and people like you, trampling my civil rights. Thank you.

People are finally starting to see through the phony "it's for the children" argument of these authoritarian, neo-fascist, control freaks currently in power. The only goal of any attempts at more "gun control" is to dis-arm law-abiding American citizens. Period. It's happened in virtually every dictatorship. It triggered the American Revolution. There is a reason for the 2nd Amendment. It is the last line of defense against a totalitarian government. If you think "the children" are in danger now, wait until there is no one left to shoot back.

If it saves just 1 child... right?
Keep the bubble wrap on until they are 26. Children today are way too overprotected. Edward VI was ruling England at 10. Joan of Arc was leading soldiers in battle at 14. Boys and girls once became men and women by 16 because the survival of their family depended on maturity. Coddling kids today is doing them and our society a tremendous disservice.
