Hi all. I just want to start out that I AM ignorant and I am asking for civil conversation to educate me. Anyone wanting to flame me may decide not. And if this gets out of hand, the mods may at any time lock this thread.
I am ASKING...... What are the drawbacks to background checks? I am a legal citizen and some things I have are registered and some things I have are not. But it is not because I am hiding anything. I just happened to buy them from an individual and didn't have to go through a dealer.
BUT.... I have had weapons stolen. And I would hope that Winchester 70 in 223 that shot less than 1/2 inch groups at 100 for 8 rounds at a time (I know yall wont believe that, but it is none the less true) would show up again to come home. And I DONT want a felon, prior or otherwise to commit a crime with one of my stolen weapons. Now I dont like more than necessary government involvement in my life, so I am asking someone to tell me why I should not want to do a background check.
As it is, with what is registered, the military is not going to come and ask for my weapons, they are going to drone strike me at 0200 and pick up the pieces.
So, ok, let the comments begin.
