No.Have you ever sold a gun to a stranger?

Preparing how? What exactly is that person doing that would lead a reasonable person to believe he is about to hurt someone?But you said as long as you haven't killed anyone...to leave you alone...Right?
You are avoiding the point. If you are preparing to hurt someone should people still ignore you until you've actually done it?
No actually it isn't; the things you claim to be evidence that it is working, do not actually show that.The evidence is in my favor, not yours.
That is your opinion. Not mine.No actually it isn't; the things you claim to be evidence that it is working, do not actually show that.
An ex-felon with a warrant for his arrest for an attempted murder going to a gun store with someone to buy a gun from them seems reasonable to me to assume the guy is about to commit another gun crime.Preparing how? What exactly is that person doing that would lead a reasonable person to believe he is about to hurt someone?
You don't have the veto. 95% of voters want Universal Background Checks...I hope you are ok with disappointment.Bottom line, you cannot prove it is working, and yet you think we should expand it.... the answer is no.
How many guns have you sold in your lifetime?
Do you understand why society has an interest in keeping ex-felons from buying guns?Do you understand why there is an individual right to be armed?
No, right?
You're too ignorant to have this discussion.
The Colorado law allows for the transfer of a gun to a family member....Sibling, spouse or child.That's simply untrue. If you read this thread in full, you'll find I fully tolerate existing gun laws -- I merely think we need no more. I shouldn't have to drive out of my way and pay $20 to sell my brother a gun.
And your opinion is not proof.That is your opinion. Not mine.
That is a crime.An ex-felon with a warrant for his arrest for an attempted murder going to a gun store with someone to buy a gun from them seems reasonable to me to assume the guy is about to commit another gun crime.
And you don't have the votes to make it happen. If you did, it would already be done, but it's not.You don't have the veto. 95% of voters want Universal Background Checks...I hope you are ok with disappointment.
Of my own, or when I was in that business?How many guns have you sold in your lifetime?
Actually no, because if they're considered dangerous, then why are they walking around free? And if society believes they're okay to be let roam around free, then who cares if they're armed?Do you understand why society has an interest in keeping ex-felons from buying guns?
without a background check,Of my own, or when I was in that business?
Well I quit working at the gun shop when I joined the Army in '93, and the BC law didn't go into effect until '98, so I guess several dozen at least. Of my own, about 2 or 3.without a background check,
Examples of this happening, please.An ex-felon with a warrant for his arrest for an attempted murder going to a gun store with someone to buy a gun from them seems reasonable to me to assume the guy is about to commit another gun crime.
Would you do the same for murder. The logic you're using indicates anyone could be a potential murderer, so we must all be searched any time we're in public to make certain we're not carrying a weapon, poison or other lethal product to ensure that we don't commit a murder. I'm a law abiding citizen -- under the 4th Amendment I'm supposed to be free from such searches. I'm a law abiding citizen -- under the 2nd Amendment I'm supposed to be free to own arms without much restriction (restrictions aren't mentioned in the amendment).Exactly. Hence the need for comprehensive restrictions applicable to all, without regard to those who squawk "Don't hassle me with any restrictions! I'm a law abiding gun owner!"
Federal background checks, where they apply, do not allow that. YIou want to extend the federal background check to private transactions.The Colorado law allows for the transfer of a gun to a family member....Sibling, spouse or child.
No, I've seen no evidence that carnage would be prevented. I already, in fact, provided multiple examples of the background check being used, and failing to prevent one iota of carnage.Sure you have. You just dismiss it. You value guns more than human lives.
