Universal Background Checks for firearms

[deathrind]

28. Hmmm...

As Jeb said "stuff happens" or Ben with his bullet riddled bodies are not nearly as tragic as legislating controls around the 2nd Amendment.

Enacting common sense legislation that would require 100% background checks, a license to sell firearms, waiting periods for purchases, mag caps, mandatory safety courses none of which takes away a persons "right" to "bear arms" it just makes the process to ownership take a little longer.

It is an amazing display of cognitive dissonance by propoents of the 2nd amendment that on one hand they claim "guns don't kill people, people kill people" yet they firmly believe drugs should be illegal...because apparently drugs just jump into a persons system and kills the person not because the person ingested/injected the drug. We have drug laws and heavy regulation because humans do terrifically unwise things with them an mostly just hurt themselves...not an entire class room of 8-9-10 yr olds.

We treat alcohol the same way. Yet when it comes to guns the best we can do is just shrug our shoulders and say "stuff happens". So much for American "exceptionalism". We sent people to the moon but cannot do anything (apparently) to make 2016 a year with 0 school shootings or if not 0 at least a number that is < 45...
