In cities like Chicago with some of the strictest laws in the nation, we have some of the highest murder rates. Gun laws do NOT stop criminals or crazy people from causing violence with any object. The crazy shooters at the Washington Navy Yard, Colorado theater and Virginia Tech ALL passed backrounds checks. So tell me how new checks will or could have prevented those horrific shootings?
there are back round checks already in place here in Illinois, ISP does the work before owner can take possession of purchase. The problem is how can your proposal guarantee that a registry won’t be developed to use for confiscation of weapons? You can’t therefore we reject the proposal. It is always the ulterior motive that has to be discovered before the law is made.
Of all the sales background checks have prevented, how many have been prosecuted? Of all the high numbers, 47 have been Prosecuted.
Sorry, Ms. Flatulant Feinstein – background checks are an INFRINGEMENT. Now is the time when all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST! And don’t forget that America wasn’t won with a registered gun. As a fellow Jewess in the US, I say you are a stain on American Jewry.
I wonder if Ms. Feinstein knows that most of those people who were prevented from purchasing guns were not criminals. They were the result of errors. That’s why there were less than 100 convictions out of her claimed 2 million stopped from purchasing guns. Criminals would generally know whether they can pass a background check. If they know that they can’t they will simply buy guns on the street. Almost all background checks are done on people who can pass background checks.
Has the war on drugs kept drugs off the street after being waged for so long? Why would anyone think that a war on guns will keep guns off the street.
There is nothing in the most recent proposals,that violates the second ammendment rights of anybody. Not background checks,or restrictions on military weapons or ammo clips. If you actually read the second ammendment,you will see nothing in there.that says you have the right to carry a gun just because you feel like it. It is not in there!Even hunters are restricted to the types of ammo they can use,depending on what they are trying to kill.If you cannot hit what you are aiming at with less than three shots,you have no business with a gun anyway. Most ardent gun advocates I know,are chicken hawks. Never served in combat,perfectly willing to let others do their fighting. If the had served,they would never pick up a gun ever again. TRUST ME!
