GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[F.U.]

I am OK with background checks myself. After all when doing so the buyer is only checked out, not the firearm. All we tell them is long gun or handgun. No ser #'s are given nor type of gun. SO the DG checks are no big deal.

This is a significant turn-around from the last time we had exchanges in regards to Universal Background Checks and you argued they created too many "hoops" and "costs" for gun owners, even after I addressed those supposed "hoops" and "costs".

You said in your experience, they just wouldn't work. And then went on about them making it easier for big brother to disarm you.

I'm glad to see you've changed your position and now support background checks for private transactions (though family member transfers should not be exempt, for obvious common sense reasons).

Your reason for opposing safe storage laws then was "cost" and "hoops" to gun owners, and you suggested focusing on gun theft instead. Now your argument against safe storage mandates is "slippery slope". Maybe by the end of the year, you'll be on board with that one too.

I am willing to ben a little HotD. Now if the anti gunners would do the same we could get somewhere. I still think there are a lot of hoops that really are not needed, However those hoops will put $$$ in my pocket in the end. I am not willing to bend on the family member transfers though. And what one person sees as common sense storage another sees as overkill. I just don't see where a government has the right to tell anyone how anything needs to be stored. Whats next. all those deadly autos must be stored in a garage, just a example, don't freak out and give me the no comparison BS.
