Why are you being insulting? All I was doing is trying to find out if you were stating your own personal opinion based on your own personal belief system supporting your own personal political view or if you were providing an official legal principle that is beyond dispute and is considered as fact.
Thank you for making it crystal clear that it is only your own opinion.
So that stuff about, hey look at Switzerland, you didn't really mean?
Switzerland actually has the system we used to have. They have a real ****ing militia! So you are ready to sign up for government service to get your military issue rifle?
You are posting, simply to be posting, which is silly, and certainly requires no reply with quote.
Here is your clue: when I am refering to a law, or "fact" I tend to post supporting links. Most of your posts, as this babble that I am replying to, are simply your opinion and are intended to rile or bait; not to make any point, or convey any information, they are simply intended to egg on a poster. You are, normally, far to clever to get sufficiently blatant, in that regard, to receive a warning, yet persist in using this tactic. Much of the comentary on a political debate website is of the nature of personal opinion; why else would we be here? Please refrain from replying with quote to my posts, if you offer no opinion, information or counter argument. I have yet to employ the ignore option, yet will look into its use. To convey the simple message of "thank you", for a reply, most simply use the "like" feature; try it and you (and I) might like it.
You're the one proposing a federal law requiring background checks on personal transfers. If you can't be bothered to explain how your proposal would actually work, then don't expect to be taken seriously.
I favor this proposal, its even surprising that it is not in effect now..
No to be honest I had no idea that Switzerland has compulsory military service, Israel does and they also have a low crime rate.
Good question..How would we know whether or not a check was actually done if someone sells a firearm to his brother?
Turtle - I am willing to wager $1,000.00 that this statement is factually true: a person can purchase a firearm at a gun show without a background check.
I am willing to wager and additional $1,000.00 that this reality is commonly referred to as a gun show loophole.
Ready to take the wager?
Good question..
Easy answer....obvious....
How would we know whether or not a check was actually done if someone sells a firearm to his brother?
Lol what? We should have less gun restrictions, Switzerland is an example of a country with little restriction.
why are you asking to bet something when I know that in some states you can buy a gun from a PRIVATE seller without undergoing a background check. I have stated at least TWENTY TIMES that the LAW was never designed to cover PRIVATE SELLERS.
and yes the anti gun forces use LOTS OF TERMS THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE
the anti gun left assumes that all sales should require a background check even though most ones involving felons never will no matter what the laws
You can also bet me that many anti gun democrats will call common semi automatic sporting rifles
"assault weapons" "assault rifles" or even MACHINE GUNS
being wrong is a common characteristic of that group

And nobody is addressing how this loophole they want closed is actually going to get closed. If federal legislation is enacted that requires a background check in all transfers, how would it be enforced? How would anyone even be able to know whether or not Alan did a background check on Bob prior to selling him one of his firearms?
there you go raising practical issues with this issue. As I noted, its like demanding that pushers only sell crack or crank to those with prescriptions. What I do know is that the more proactive thinkers in the anti gun movement want complete registration of all weapons so the government can do spot checks to see what you have and if you sold something
Why ?
Could it be that the Swiss are far more civilized that us ?
Or is it "we" ?
And "we" have already been thru "less restrictions", thanks to the conservatives...
The first thing we must do is have 100% background checks for 100% of potential gun owners....the liberty lovers will NOT like this......
The next step is to ban the assault weapon ownership for civilians....
Think I am angry now ?
If I were a parent of a murdered child..........
Good point. It sounds doubtful that this loophole could be closed without also implementing a federal gun registration scheme. That may be why its proponents clam up when asked for the gory details.
Glad we have cleared up that there is indeed a gun show loophole where you can buy a gun without a background check.

Its not a loophole-the law was intended only to apply to those who have to keep records of weapons they receive in the course of business.
I do agree with the fears of the level of trustworthiness of our federal government....I also see that the states have failed with English instruction.there you go raising practical issues with this issue. As I noted, its like demanding that pushers only sell crack or crank to those with prescriptions.

I am emotional - YES
Being human does this.
What we need is for the people to have trust in our government....and the police.....if we do not have this, "we in trouble"...
I do not like the idea of taking.....and I have NEVER advocated this....
I do advocate the complete background checks and future prevention of the insane owning guns.....
Insane means , in this case, anything off center....
And the determination of this is very difficult....I think....
Man must prove to his government that he can handle freedom and liberty.
I wonder, at times, if our people can do the right thing with these things which the conservatives love so..
Justification ?
The people under a fairly benevolent government living in peace and harmony....more or less.....our national interests have to be secondary to the people....this could be, oddly enough, where Russia is ahead of us...
