Let gun victims speak

Computers will be the end of these folks, and they know it. Why do you think they want to avoid leaving a paper trail?

"I am sorry Mr. Whacko, your periodic mental health screening mandated by Obamacare shows you are a paranoid schizophrenic. You can not have any firearms within your immediate control. Our database shows you and your household own the following firearms. The local law enforcement is on their want to collect all those plus any other firearms you have possible access to. Your employer has been informed. Once all the firearms are collected, you will have thirty days to contest this determination."

On the flip side, given the government's track record of keeping documents...do you really want Putin's underlings to have access to your data?

It's funny how a certain poster keeps saying he's not going to discuss the issue, yet has more posts in this thread than any other member. I'm starting to wonder if he has a case of lead poisoning. I don't think you're supposed to put the bullets in your mouth.

I think you're onto something.

Meh. I am married to a FB junkie. I have no privacy.

Are we ignoring most of these victims were killed by people who illegally possessed guns in the first place?

Good reason to require background checks for all private party transfers, including gun shows and online sales, if what you say is true.

You're insinuating someone who already breaks the law will be stopped by an administrative check?

Exactly how the founders intended it to be.

Why put locks on your front door? Some thief could just break a window to get in.

And then they'd get to see my gun collection.

Keeping your gun collection at home and showcasing it on the street because you are waiting on Obama's friends to invade or the apacolypse are sooooooo different.

What are you even saying there?

That's just not true. You want to believe it to further an argument that laws are useless so we shouldn't make more because it doesn't stop criminals. An idea that has been fed to you.

The navy yard shooter got a gun legally. Nancy Lanza got her arsenal legally, and died by it.

The folks in the OP were killed by gangbangers. Did they buy their guns at the gun shop?

The recent mass shootings were all committed, largely, with legally purchased guns. So your insinuation that background checks are going to somehow stop gun violence falls flat. We have both a control and experimental group right here in the same study.
