Those people should not be walking the streets. Period. In the past, they would be swinging by the neck, on Sunday afternoon.
If you walk freely in society, you as a human have every right to defend yourself how you see fit, including the right to bear arms.
Blame the dumb ass that let them free. There is your threat to society in the future.
So you're for restricting those people from having guns? If so, we have no argument. But a background check and a wait for a couple of days is how that's happening right now.

Those people have been prohibited from having guns since the GCA of 1968. Where have you been?
The same could be said for all manner of property that would be bad to be in the hands of a schizophrenic, child abuser, felon, etc. Steak knives, pointy end scissors, leather belt, sharp stick, etc. Any of those outlawed or buried under mountains of red tape to acquire, simply because a schizophrenic, child abuser or felon might get their hands on them?
Okay, let's have lots of red tape for steak knives, pointy end scissors, leather belts, sharp sticks, and guns. I'm fine with that.

And yet they get them. So a background check can help make sure they don't.
Under your logic, you're against having a border wall - - there's already a law that illegal immigrants shouldn't be here. We've already made that law; no need to do anything else.

I know you are. You love it.
What about the part of my mind that can (well, in my younger days) break into any residence regardless of home security measures? It was my job but I could have used the knowledge for nefarious activities.
Do we scrub my brain? I can't talk to others? I'm not allowed to own certain things because of my knowledge base?

They let the Insane Asylum loose. Now, the public must conform to them, for our safety. Now that is insane

Same logic, if we pass a comprehensive ban, they would still have guns.
My point is that background check is stupid. Those people need to be in prison or hospital.
