It didn't answer my question. How will it stop the next one? Answer: It won't.

 

 

We will never know any gun control effort it will stop on an individual basis. That question is misleading. What makes sense, the less guns in the wrong hands the less likely the next one happens.

 

Right now and probably in the far out future that probably needs to be the goal. Little doubt that they are too accessible to too many.

I would disagree with your statement. The military wants to injure the solder so it takes 3 out of combat. I’d take my chances on getting hit with a .223 round from an AR versus a hollow point .44 mag pistol that mushrooms upon impact.

 

It's not my statement. It's that of medical doctors who have to try to save people that have been shot by various guns.

Another thing that needs to be done is that everyone that gets denied, should be charged with a Federal Crime. Before a dealer calls the background service they verify the purchaser has answered all questions correctly, which means the purchaser has claimed to have nothing that would prohibit them from purchasing a firearm. If they then fail tha background check then it means that must have lied on the form which in and of itself is a Federal Crime. ATF has prosecuted a handful of these cases over the years...it would be a much bigger deterrent to people lying and trying to buy a firearm if they were prosecuted for lying on the form as they should be.

 

In theory that's a good idea, however with Identity theft at an all time high, not sure you can do that.

They also have to have a state issued drivers license or Conceal Carry Permit with a photo to make a purchase, that helps reduce the Idenity Theft issues quite a bit.

A guy I work with has a son that works at the local Dicks. He said they had 6 people quit this morning over this.

So because we can't stop all of them, do nothing? That's what you're implying?

Fyi, your sex example differs in every state, but in Kentucky 16 years old is old enough to consent.

 

Thanks for the clarification. That further makes my point. Age 15 in Kentucky. Age 16 in another state. Age is different for many areas of the law.

If there isn't enough to arrest someone, why should it go on a background check? What good will it do?

 

If you pull me over, you don't care if the cops are called to my house weekly for domestic violence?

What good can it do?

 

Are you going to fail a background for it? If not, there's no reason to put it there imo.

Not really, the ID theft can happen after those are issued.

In your opinion, yes or no, is there any benefit at all to knowing I've been reported for domestic violence numerous times?

So because we can't stop all of them, do nothing? That's what you're implying?

 

Not at all. Just not a fan of feel good measures that will not get us anywhere. We have people that think these things are happening because of a particular rifle. That's total nonsense. If you take that rifle out of the equation, what do you think will happen? These events stop or the killer moves on to the next weapon? I guarantee you it will be the later. Something isn't wrong with the rifle, something is wrong with people. There's little respect for human life anymore. I'd prefer to find an answer that would help. We aren't there, or even close.

Its not a yes or no type of question.

 

It depends on a lot of things.

 

As far as background checks go, unless you plan on failing people for accusations or reports that are unfounded or otherwise not charged or convicted... it's not information they need to know.

Guess I won’t joke with you anymore.

Ok.
