Unless they're a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we're not against them buying guns at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In the myopic world of the liberals, guns are responsible for evil instead of the perpetrator of evil. But criminals are not bound by our laws. That's what makes them criminals.
Obviously, we think it's important to make sure that firearms do not get in the hands of people who are criminals, convicted felons or adjudicated as mentally ill.
It defies common sense that stores are fined for selling toy guns to children, but someone who isn't even allowed to board an airplane in this country can purchase as many real guns he wants with no questions asked.
It's not law-abiding gun owners that are the problem here - it's Islamic terrorists.
Gun owners and non-gun owners alike agree on expanding background checks, making gun trafficking a serious crime with stiff penalties, making it illegal for all stalkers and all domestic abusers to buy guns, and expanding mental health resources so the mentally ill find it easier to receive treatment than to buy firearms.
That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government.
We are not saying that every idiot out there should own a gun - and there should be better background checks on guns. Not everybody should have the right.
Why would anybody not own a gun?
Background checks, waiting periods, reports of transfers, and access to mental health records have not stopped the legal sale of firearms to legitimate buyers.
I do not believe in people owning guns. Guns should be owned only by the police and military. I am going to do everything I can to disarm this state.
