ORIGINAL: heavyblinker Except you really need to be open to the possibility that the regulations can't be fixed because they are either designed to fail or simply not the best option. The regulations aren't the problem-- the regulations are just an attempt to solve the problem of people constantly using guns to kill each other. Whether you realize it or not, jlf's 'solution' is rooted in his very emotional relationship with his guns, not logic. that is the biggest load of anti gun/more regulation bullshit that has ever been posted to this fucking board concerning this particular issue. Once more since you are clearly too damn dense to understand: If the following is true: The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person: convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; who is a fugitive from justice; who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act, codified at 21 U.S.C. § 802); who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution; who is an illegal alien; who has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions; who has renounced his or her United States citizenship; who is subject to a court order restraining the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child of the intimate partner; or who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. And the National Criminal Information system is not mandatory for all those who have access to that information which would prevent the persons that the above applies to is not mandatory for them to place that information into the data base, how in the fuck are more strict back ground checks or any other measure introduced to make it so these particular groups cannot buy a gun possibly work?
