BOTH laws are bad, but the worst of the two is the BG law that puts thousands, perhaps millions of non papered, not traceable guns on the radar screen.

Oh fuck, here we go again with this shit.

Enough already.

Yes a former felon should be allowed to own a gun. After he has done his time, paid his debt to society and has been released, and all his other rights have been restored, why not his gun rights?? If he cannot be trusted with a gun why has he been freed from prison? Where in the constitution does it say an ex felon can't own a firearm?

Brutal
Enough? Says who?? We all have right to our opinion don't we? This is a forum isn't it? Why are gun people so threatened by the discussion of the ramifications of the backround check law?

Yes, felons should have ALL their rights restored at some point after they do their time. As for someone under investigation, they are innocent until proven guilty so yes they should be able to purchase a firearm. If later they are convicted of a crime than part of their punishment is that they lose their rights for a time, but no crime should end your rights forever (unless you are executed for it or jailed for life) and no rights should be removed without a trial and conviction.

the problem is..everytime you give up any freedom, it will bite you in the ass.

here is an example

lets say two men want to get married and the state they live in will not allow them to marry? that would be bad Right?

the trouble is, some dipshit somewhere in the past decided it was ok to let the goverment tell him that he needed permission to marry. the government has no right to "allow or not allow" you to marry whoever you choose. yet the freedom was given away and now some people want some of the freedom back and the government doesnt want to give it back.

You're yelling at me about my opinion. Mine is worth no more or less than yours.

Government isinvolved because taxes are involved. Remove tax breaks for married couples and it's no longer their problem.

i agree. end the majority of government involvement in our lives.

Taxes should be on consumption, not income anyway (since reporting one's income is a massive violation of privacy rights).
