Check out countries that don't trust their citizens to bear arms.GG's are unarmed and the criminals are armed.

So once we get past that ignorant arguement....It is a Right.Same as Free Speech.

Which will soon be gone if people don't start to wake up and stand up to this bunch we have in Congress and other high places. They had better use their power to vote while they still have that right.

I too wonder about NOT doing background checks. Why? For sure, that little tidbit alone will create a blackmarket in illegal gun trade. Maybe it was thrown in as a bargaining chip. It could also be Supreme Court bait.

But for the rest of it, I support the legislation.

I agree with the post above that criminals WILL acquire guns regardless of any regulations.

I also agree that background checks, "sounds like a good idea!"

So does 'reform our health care system'. "Sounds like a good idea!"

AND
Reform our education system. "Sounds like a good idea!"
OR
Become energy independent. "Sounds like a good idea!"

"SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA!" is the basic building block of the left wingers bastardization of the American way of life.

They don't say, "We are going to Socialize American business." They say, "We cannot let OUR auto industry fail!"

They foist a fine sounding idea on the distracted public, get the OK to implement the "good idea!" And turn it into a pork packed, insane, spending spree, and power grab. And the laws passed to implement the "good idea," are always loaded up with VERY BAD IDEAS!

Way to go Mt. and Tx.

Interesting discussion on the impact of this law on the Glenn Beck show with a retired Judge. The case might just narrow the definition of the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution...

Oh really? ALL bad guys get their guns illegally huh? So an illegal alien that want to shoot up his former employer that couldn't buy a gun legally before can now just walk into a store and buy one now. Yeah...that's real bright. DUH!

Sounds like it is an ignorant argument, but a simple background check isn't the ignorant part.
