I can get on my Facebook right now and go to one of the many yardsale sites in this area and post "I'm looking to buy an AR15 today" and within an hour I'd have someone offering to sell it to me, no questions asked.
I don't believe that is right or proper. I know that there are many people out there who don't need so much as a .38 revolver, let alone an AR15, but that there are many people who don't give a shit who they sell their guns to .
Same thing as I say about cops. Of course there are bad cops. There are bad people and cops are people and thus you will have bad cops.
Of course this brings up the real issue with "universal background checks" how the hell would you enforce that? I could sell you any weapon I own and how would the government even know unless we told them, let alone enforce me running a background check on you? Oh that's right, the only way the government would know is if they knew what guns each of us owned then they could say "wait a minute STTAB used to own this weapon, but not Jimmy owns it, where is the background check?"
And again, liberals know this.
I'll tell you what I would do if I were Trump though, I'd fight for a federal law making it a federal felony to open carry long arms in public. And I'd dare someone to challenge that law in court. It would be upheld.
I'm not talking about the guy , or gal, who has their hunting rifle safely put up in their vehicle, or the guy carrying his long gun in a carrying case. I'm talking abut the moron who shows up at a fucking airport with his AR15 slung across his chest like he's fucking Rambo. There is no need for that, it serves no purpose other than letting him imagine his penis is larger than it really is, and scaring people for no fucking reason.
This way every single person who is open carrying a long arm can be detained by police simply for carrying the weapon, no questions asked.
Or as the case last week near me in Springfield MO where a person made a citizen's arrest, and may actually end up in legal trouble himself because it's not clear that the kid carrying the AR15 violated any laws, he was merely being an asshole.
