Could we get a source on the full clip? I don't know if you have one, but I couldn't find the clip and I'm curious to see how that interview played out

The only real solution - start going out again, meet new people, hope you find someone, cheers

sounds pretty dope

1) how do you catch people who don't use a background check?
2) it's a betrayal of trust so it's not always reported. Also it's not illegal for mentally ill people to own a gun unless they've been involuntarily committed or determined by a court after a crime to be ill
3) it's already illegal to give a gun to someone you know can't have it. What they do with it beyond that has nothing to do with the owner. If a car gets stolen and is used to rob a bank, the owner of the car isn't an accessory to the crime.

you know what, fuck it. i realized how little i care about this. im moving to canada.

I would be inclined to agree, that slowing the process would help fight gun violence if the process were made more intense as well but I disagree that this would be the case. I believe that the government would conduct the same slipshod work whether it took 1 month or 1 week, I use the many government departments that we currently have as an example...

I believe you might be putting a little too much confidence in our Congress and DJ 4DM1Nistration's ability to create good legislation as well. Many times taxes have been proposed that have been "self paying" but this is rarely the case as the surplus revenue is either squandered or misappropriated. The gas tax is my biggest evidence here.....supposed to pay for our roads, and now we are selling them.

It's at least good we agree that some crimes ought not to disqualify (and have nothing to do with) owning a gun.

1) universal background checks are impossible to enforce without a registry
2) doctors still don't do it because it's unethical
3) It's legal to shoot guns pretty much anywhere outside city limits (trespassing would be the only factor). The last background check bill that just failed was so poorly written it did make it a felony to loan out a gun, including leaving your guns with a friend to take care of while you went on vacation. Only in places like California where the government is looking over your shoulder 24/7 is it illegal to loan a gun outside a range. Even if it is dangerous, it's the shooters responsibility, not the government's, to make sure what they do is safe.

1) how do you need a gun registry to run background checks on people?
2) what? violent mental patients are reported to the government, how is that unethical
3) i realize some failed bills were poorly written, I dont think it should be illegal to leave your guns with a friend, however i do think that the owner should be held fully responible for whatever crimes could be commited by leaving it wit the wrong person...

NOPE because once they get a start they will not stop. Look at Australia

I agree with a national background check.... BUT FUCK YOU I CAN YELL IF I WANT!

ALL SHIFT KEY MOTHERFUCKER1

The only problem I have with the background checks is that I feel that it will be abused to become too restrictive (weed violation=no gun) too bureaucratic (an anti gun DJ 4DM1Nistration could potentially slow down applications to the point where it becomes a pain), and too EXPENSIVE.... you have to realize that some places already require all sorts of fees and permits just for owning a gun (or a car, or driving in a road) and my problem with that is...

If you have the right to do something, but you must pay tons of money to the point where people are excluded, is it still a right?

Just imagine if your city made "free speech zones" and not only restricted protests there, but made the permits 600 USD each day?

Anyways those are my thoughts.

good points, although the way i see it, slowing down the proccess can only prevent harm, not cause it. also, the whole 'weed violation' thing is a whole different argument, i think the way we penalize drug USERS vs. abusers and sellers is completely messed up. as far as the cost goes, i dont think background checks would cost more up front, it would be paid for by taxes and such. i know i know, we all hate taxes, but dammit, i dont mind them if its for the common good.

I just sold a gun to that guy over there without a check. Whatcha gonna do 'bout it? You can't prove that criminal's gun previously belonged to me.

I'm insane. I just bought a gun from a dealer and I passed the background check. The check didn't catch me because it's illegal for my doctor to release my medical records so the database was incomplete.

I went out target shooting on a farm with my brother for the day. The neighbor who is a cop saw it and I was arrested. I'm am now a felon and my reputation is forever scarred.

1) thats not really an argument, more of a loophole in current legislation

2) it is illegal for your doctor to release medical records, but, it is not illegal to prevent "insane" individuals from buying a gun, any more than it is illegal to prevent a blind person from driving. the current background check system doesn't release criminal or medical records to gun store owners, just a notice of illegibility.

3) it is completely legal to "loan out" guns on firing ranges or legal hunting grounds, not out in public. target shooting, even in the middle of nowhere, could be potentially dangerous becuase you dont know who could be roaming around on your makeshift "range".

i dont know who thumbed you down. many people agree background checks are a must and that its not the guns that we should blame but its the people who get their hands on the guns when they shouldnt. if theres a crack in the dam why would you fix all of the wall except for the one spot with the leak?
