Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Requiring background checks for private sales isn't going to stop or prevent a felon from getting their hands on guns. It's ignorant to think that it will solve the problem, much like thinking that an out right ban on weapons will stop gun violence.
Again, goes back to laws don't control criminals... Murder, crack, all illegal, criminals don't care.Originally Posted by blacklabel

They know that. It is just an excuse to make it more difficult for good people. Politicians dont like for good people to have guns.

Consider the source. Piers isn't even an American.
It goes beyond that, the guy is a Redcoat.
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!! Oh wait they're already here.
Pretty clear when he said "Do you REALLY believe that your government will become tyrannical?" Um, well, actually no...because we have the 2nd Amendment to prevent that. But take it away and there is NOTHING to prevent our government from becoming tyrannical like the English Government we fought for Independence against.
Do they not teach the American Revolution in England? That should hit close to home for Peirs...you'd think a Redcoat would know a bit more about tyrannical government.
That said, I think the 2nd Amendment is first and foremost important to prevent and deter tyranny. He kept saying it was important to fight tyrannical government, but that's it's secondary purpose.
^Exactly. Criminals by definition don't obey the law. This would just be another un-enforceable law for bad guys to break and good guys to follow. But how do we make sure the good guys don't sell without a BGC? Glad you asked. Every law abiding gun owner must submit to a monthly inventory to make sure they didn't sell one without a background check. And how would they know the good guy didn't sell any of his guns? Yup, a registry.
But bad guys can steal guns too. Well, guess we better make it harder for them to do that by making a law that requires law abiding gun owners to lock up their guns at all times. If one gets stolen and used in a crime, we'll send the good guy to jail for not locking them up. Yup, that should prevent bad guys from stealing guns, making more good guys liable.
Peirs got owned. But I still had a very hard time watching it. He is such a smug, arrogant SOB, I can't hardly look at the screen when he is talking.
