What they don't tell you is that 70 (if not all 72) of those 72 are false positives.

^Yup. Any known criminal with bad intentions won't willingly walk into a shop and have a BGC done.

Well the argument for the UBCG law was that since criminals don't go to gun shops to buy their guns because of the BGC they instead buy guns from law abiding citizens because they can do so without a BGC ... I guess these same idiots believe that criminals have just given up on buying guns at all now and are busy getting jobs and bettering themselves.

Well it did make it more difficult for felons to obtain guns. Not impossible by any means and probably not even what would qualify as "very difficult" (having no first hand knowledge I cannot say concretely) but absolutely harder. It also made it more difficult and expensive for everyone else to buy a used gun.

Is that added difficulty for felons worth the damage to the used market? Not to me but I do think it would be a tough sell to repeal that one.

I'm a firm believer in that if I sell a firearm to someone, it's no longer my responsibility or problem. They can do whatever they want with it, even if that's committing crimes. They are responsible for their actions. The firearm has nothing to do with it. Ergo, if they have money, and I have a firearm, I don't mind selling it to them. I don't want to know who they are.

Isn't requiring background checks to purchase a firearm an admission by the government that they are failing at keeping known, dangerous people off of the streets? There shouldn't be anyone on the streets that we should be worried about owning a firearm.

Why the fuck are there people out there, that the government already knows about, that I need to be worried about getting their hands on a firearm?

ETA: not only is the government failing at keeping these people off the streets, they are intentionally putting them there by releasing them. I don't get it.

Actually the table linked in the article states that the numbers for July -Oct held up after appeal.

Half the denials were for "other" reasons. I wonder what those are.
