Poll incoming. |

Quoted:
No. People that have committed a crime, have presumably done their time. If you can't owns gun, society doesn't trust you and then you should be in jail, no? I agree. Former convicts have a right to self defense just as much as the next guy. And I deal with inmates all day

Quoted:

No doubt they will return, the latest BJS statistics from the 30 states that participated showed that 3 in 4 felons return to prison within 5 years. That's not including the ones who return after that time frame. Although, its staggering regardless. |

Quoted: Yes, because we need to stop criminals from acquiring guns legally... wait a second... LoL.... There aren't any legal recreational pot shops in WA yet. And yet, somehow, people have been able to find it, for quite a while longer than when it was legalized.... However, to be universal as they suggest background checks should be, it will create another criminal when a father delivers a pistol to his adult, otherwise law-abiding, daughter when she needs to defend herself against an abusive ex- or stalker, after the local gun shops have closed for the night, and the background check clerk at the local police department has gone home of the night. If the Dad follows the proposed law, an unstated, perhaps even unintended, consequence will be that she will have to wait an additional 5-10 days, maybe more, unable to defend herself, as she waits for the waiting period to expire. Meanwhile, that felon can buy a gun from someone who doesn't care that it is illegal, even now under state and federal law, to sell him a gun. |

The background check system AT BEST only prevents a criminal from getting a specific gun that they might want from a gun store. They prosecute less than 100 violations every year despite thousands of occurrences. I think you should be able to buy guns off Amazon Prime personally.

I don't support background checks for any gun sales, or federal licensing for gun dealers, manufacturers, etc., or NFA regulations, or carry permits, or any of that bullshit.
Making, selling, owning, and carrying guns shouldn't be any more restricted than other commonly carried items, like phones or flashlights. |

Quoted:
58 people like the fact that you have to wait 10 months+ so you can get a suppressor, SBR, ED, or FA. Those 58 people must not be stamp collectors, and have zero clue how ridiculous the NFA laws are. I can make an AR with a 10 inch barrel and its legal as long as I don't put a stock on it. 
Put a stock on it and now its an SBR. 10 month wait, $200 tax. Stupid law |

Quoted:
I see no need for anything regulating arms/ordnance up to NBC, besides safe storage laws. You want a few cases of old dynamite fine, but you're not storing them under an old tarp in the garage next to this statist's house.  And who are you to tell me how I store things on my property? Fascist. |

Gun Clerk : "that will be $687.32, please" Felon: "take my money!" End of story. |

Fix the system, then get rid of background checks. Of course, this will never happen... |
