On top of that, criminals have other means to get guns if they want them. While Im not necessarily against background checks in general, I don't think it's the silver bullet to "fix" the problem. It also gives the anti-2A folks yet another point in their long-running game to basically repeal 2A. And before you go on a tangent about "thats not what anyone wants!" That is exactly what some people want, to repeal the 2nd amendment and implement a 100% gun ban for private citizens. They've tried to do this before (See Assault Rifle Ban of 1994), but then found that the definition of an "Assault Rifle" didn't have the intended effect they wanted. Furthermore, it didn't work. The amount of gun-related crimes was not reduced by any measurable amount that could be attributed to the law being put into effects. And now they're at it again, another "Assault Rifle Ban" is being thrown around in 2021. This was a bit of a soapbox, and more pointed at a general comment. So please do not think I was pointing all these comments directly at you, specifically. |

I've literally written entire essays, articles, etc on the gun debate so I don't want to get too into it here but I'll just say this as a cautionary note - 90% of anyone agreeing on anything should make you deeply suspicious of how the people doing the survey came up with that number.
If we applied the same scrutiny and standards to the way data is analyzed and gathered for the gun debate as we do for say, the vaccine debate and other hard science issues, we would be having a drastically different conversation about guns. Unfortunately, when it comes to guns, everyone flips sides. I'll leave it at that.

How is the trafficking of illegal firearms stopped. How do we prevent the bad from getting them while still respecting the rights of others. There's no easy solution. |

I have huge respect for Sedan_Clan for explaining the issue with calls for so-called gun "registries" in the US.

The morons in the Canadian federal government have already rolled out that gun ban / confiscation law - and it's going to make no difference at all. Can't use a gun for home defense in Canada anyway (which is why I reluctantly chose to not have a firearm in Canada - who loses? the economy does) Having read up on firearm law in the US and in Canada, I find it particularly tedious when people don't understand how the law works in terms of full auto / background checks / waiting periods, etc etc in the US. In Canada, it's really easy: "you can't have it... bitch" |
