"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".
It's like guns have gotten a bad rap lately with the mass shootings or something. Of course background checks won't work every time, but it doesn't mean we can't do better. No rules work all the time, it is about risk management.

If the Left really wanted to reduce the number of guns sold in America, the best thing they could do is ignore it, because the more they squawk, peck and crow, the more people buy guns.
Disagreed. Ending the war on drugs would be the thing to reduce gun violence.

All you are telling me is how paranoid and afraid you are.

Take away the gun and see what happens. Last year the US had more than 13,000 gun deaths vs Japan that had only one.

I imagine getting shot by an inanimate object is painful and life threatening.

It's your ilk that is afraid of the libs which is why your ilk says dumb things about background checks.

Let's just get rid of all rules that don't work 100% of the time? Amirite?

Which is why certain PEOPLE should be restricted from owning them. Would you arm the mental unstable?

Yet per capita, homocides remain greater in Japan.
