Good. To answer your question it's really about second hand sales. If your friend wants to sell you a gun, you should just be able to sell it without being forced to pay for a background check.

Isn't that a small cost to pay for the safety of others? I know I'd want to make sure I'm not selling a gun to a mentally unstable person, and hopefully a background check would prevent that.

What safety? Last I checked bombs were illegal.

Do I really need to explain what went down a couple days ago?

 

Limiting what types of guns people can get, or what criteria you must fit in order to get it will change nothing.

What kind of argument is that?

Where were guns Monday when we needed them?

Who said we needed guns on Monday? That isn't my point.

My point is that even with these stupid laws we are trying to pass, it is not going to stop those who wish to harm others.

We have more important shit to worry about than how I can get a gun. Common sense tells you that laws aside, I can get a gun if I really want to.

All this current BS is just that, BS. I didn't vote this guy in to worry about guns. I voted him in to lower my fucking $70/week medical bill, amongst other much more important things.

But it does. It does because it helps us find out who did the crime. Without checks and security, we would never find the culprits, which would lead to conversations like "just get a gun from X, and do it, nobody will ever find out".

I think you're caught up in either semantics, or imagination land. We don't expect people to not die by guns. We expect to catch people when they do bad things, and that's what laws help to do.
