What money? Turtle spends all of his money on guns, which is why having to do a 15 minute background check for each purchase makes him so unbelievably angry.
what a blatantly stupid post. I don't have to do background checks since I have a valid CCW license in Ohio. Keep up on the laws and your posts won't look so stupid

Why are you always whining about what a burden background checks are then if they have no effect on your life whatsoever?

Bans on gay marriage have zero effect on my life. I'm still against them on principle.

"Universal" background checks criminalize behavior that has no adverse effect on society while being wildly ignored by criminals. Even noted gun control researcher Garen Wintemute found that UBC laws had no effect on homicides and suicides.

Gee, that makes us all feel so very safe and secure, knowing you're out there ready to dole out a "9mm colonoscopy" on tyranny.

it is not outlandish to those who understand the topic. criminalizing a failure to do a background check is stupid because the government doesn't bother punishing those who fail one- gun banners want to create all sorts of Malum Prohibitum offenses to target gun owners

Why do you whine about people owning guns when their only impact on you is voting against the socialists you want in office?

Disagree.
First you PROHIBIT.

Then you REGULATE.

Then you DISARM and IMPRISON.

If two non-prohibited persons exchange firearms without a background check under a UBC law, they've committed a crime. This crime is not a risk to society.

Wouldn't every gun owner be a victim under this scenario?

Do you spray spittle over your keyboard when you type posts like this?

You're seriously complaining that the law requiring a background check "criminalizes behavior", because it makes transferring a firearm without a background check a crime?
Well yeah, laws against robbing banks "criminalize behavior" as well.

Are you ****ing serious?

Again: you, Rucker, are NOT the victim here! YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM HERE RUCKER!! Do you understand me?

Robbing banks hurts society. Two non-prohibited persons exchanging a firearm does not hurt society. We know this because the government allows it. They don't permit bank robbery.

Well gosh, without doing a background check how would you ever know they are "non prohibited" persons?

They are non-prohibited persons regardless of any check. The check doesn't make them non-prohibited persons.

You should go read HR.8 before engaging on this subject further, so that you actually understand the proposed law.

In HR.8, the current "universal" background check bill, the law states:
Give a gun to your brother, no background check needed.
Loan a gun to your brother, no background check needed.
Sell a gun to your bother, it's a crime if there isn't a background check.


Under HR.8, the current "universal" background check bill, the law state that as long as someone has a hunting or fishing licenses, and the loaner has no reason to suspect that the loanee is a prohibited person, the loaner can loan any firearm to that loanee without a background check for any length of time.

In the Colorado version of the UBC, a gun owner can lend a firearm to anyone that they don't believe is a prohibited person for any lawful purpose for up to three days without a background check, and they don't even have to know the person at all for it to be a legal transaction.

Here's a quiz for the GCAs. I've posted this multiple times in multiple places but I've never had a GCA even attempt to complete it.

Under HR.8, one of these situations in each set of three are illegal without a background check:

A gift to my brother.
A purchase of a gun my father left to my brother.
A “forever loan” of a gun to my nephew.

Loaning an AR-15 to my uncle to hunt coyotes on his ranch.
Loaning an AR- 15 to a complete stranger while we compete in 3 Gun
Loaning an AR-15 to my buddy the cop to shoot on his uncle’s property to see if he likes the trigger.

Loaning a shotgun to a co-worker to carry while he’s fishing two states away.
Loaning a shotgun to a close single mom friend whose violent ex-husband gets out of jail at the end of the week.
Loaning a shotgun to a neighbor to shoot some skeet at the local range.

Identify the three crimes.

Replace "DISARM" with some other word, and you have the perfect formula for trampling on our liberty to do just about anything you don't like.

In Ohio, if you have a CCW, that's used in place of a background check.

His comments are fascist wet dreams-and like many who spew fascist garbage-you can bet that he wants others to carry out his gun hating bans and imprisonments.
