Normal, law-abiding citizens who pass background checks can get guns.

I'm sorry, but what part of

Look, I'm all for making it VERY hard to obtain a gun legally. I steadfastly believe that only people who meet very certain criteria and have proper training and knowledge should ever own and carry a weapon.

do you not understand? What part of that translates to "abolish background checks" in OBSpeak? I'm against BANNING guns, but not background checks. Capiche?

What I'm saying is that the weapons already illegal aren't purchased legally. No background checks are performed on the buyers. Now, I know background checks help in that it forces criminals to resort to these methods to get a gun, but since the illegal methods are a lot easier than the legal methods, you can therefore, if you have a brain, see why background checks do not put much of a halt on violent crime, since a LOT of it in America is just an extension of other criminal activity, such as drugs.

Oh how mature. I'm glad you can call his book awful without ever having read it. You extreme conservatives and liberals make me sick. You never actually think about the issues that you are defending, instead preferring to blindly take sides without a second thought just because you've sworn allegiance to a certain party.

Cry me a river, Fauntleroy. I have no allegiance to a party, I think most Repubicans are too centrist and deferential to liberals. It's just that Republican ideals make sense to me.
