Dear Mr. Rollenhagen:
I believe that these background checks are necessary to prevent individuals such as convicted felons or persons with a history of mental problems from obtaining firearms. The Brady Act seeks to protect society so that guns do not fall into the hands of persons that should not possess them, while allowing law abiding citizens to retain their right to purchase firearms.

Dear Mr. Stu(pid)Pak -
Please explain to me HOW a law, like the Brady Act, will keep a felon from buying a firearm, ESPECIALLY since he can obtain a firearm illegally from other felons for 1/2 to 1/3 the price a Federally licensed firearm dealer would charge him??? If laws were enough, wouldn't the laws against murder and armed robbery "set him straight?"
More logically, all the Brainless Act has done is embolden felons to break into homes to STEAL firearms (which means they get them for "FREE" ) thereby endangering homeowners.
In the real world, the demand for firearms by criminals remains unchanged. The Brady law has simply shifted the supply away from legal dealers, and bolstered black market sales, and thefts of firearms from legal owners, as well as dealers. In short, the Brady Act is feel good legislation that DOES NOT slow the acquisition of firearms by those who should not have them, but DOES unConstitutionally restrict the rights of "freemen" who, according to out third president, should "never be disbarred from owning arms."
Your inability to grasp this most basic logic makes me question your suitability to govern in ANY capacity. Rest assured i will be watching your actions closely up until the next election, and will act accordingly the next time the voting booth opens."
Thanks,
