NBC video: gun buying sting

[safewaysecurity]

If you support background checks on all gun transfers or transactions then I consider you antigun. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand? Plus background checks don't show any evidence of reducing crime or even working.

I completely agree, however that view seems to be a bit extreme.

To drive a car: take a driving test; can be medically revoked

To buy a gun: take a test? (the current test is a joke); can be medically revoked (or should be if mentally unstable?)

Definitely no current or probabably possible screening tool would have prevented the CO shooting. In that case, law abiding citizens with LTC's would have been more helpful (several, because I doubt one LTC holder would have stopped him).

driving an automobile on public roads is a privilege........owning a firearm for self defense is a natural, inalienable right.

NOTHING would have prevented this psychopath from injuring innocent people short of locking him away for something he hadn't done yet.

Anyone understand the rationale of when the undercover bimbo makes the statement "I probably couldnt pass a background check"?
What is it they think the seller is supposed to do? Tell the guy not to shoot anyone until he leaves the building?
I think I'll try that on the car dealer next time I buy a car. "Ya know, I really shouldnt be allowed to drive".. Wanna see if he tears up the contract??

Exactly how many helicopters have been shot down by .50Cal sniper rifles...?

Pathetic hype rhetoric from delusional azzhats who -

In spite of overwhelming PROOF -

Believe restricting gun rights of law abiding tax paying citizens -

Makes us "safer".

Pathetic...

Pathetic...

The same number brought down by hand held lasers...

So, this guy bought guns where it is legal to do so, but the government set up gun buys that were not legal and many people were killed. Both ended badly but the government gets away with it. Makes perfect sense to me. Now the government wants to paint everyone with the same brush and further their agenda of total gun control. I am not saying the left is happy about this mass murder, but they will use it as a perfect example of why the American public cannot be trusted with such a dangerous product.

They wait until the transaction is about over and then they have the guy say he probably couldn't pass a background check anyway. Not that it matters here, but in Free America, cancel that transaction right away.

According to my state law, it is illegal for me to knowingly sell a firearm to a prohibited person.
Most sellers in this area ask to see a carry permit or voter ID, and a lot ask to sign a bill of sale. I haven't sold many guns, and those have been mostly to people I know or friends of friends.

NBC ingnores thousands of guns sent across the border by our own government under F&F and the first time in history a sitting AG is held in contempt, but then does a "sting" in a parking lot over a few guns sold by individuals.

The reporter will no doubt win a Pulitzer and multiple Nobel Peace Prizes.

To the OP:

Congratulations. You have single-handedly accomplished creating the one thing the gun owning community has been lacking; Unity. You have managed to get posters who won't even agree to the color of the sky to ALL disagree with you and point out the obvious errors of your position.

Well done good sir. A round of applause is in order.

I think the fine line is what is mentally ill.

What is the error of my position, is it the part that I don't think mentally ill people should be able to legally own guns? Then I will gladly disagree with any and all of you.
