DrHarleyboy If you think background checks work then why aren't they?
"How do you know they aren't working? We give out a million drivers licenses but people still break the law and speed."
They don't work for the some 22% who escape undergoing them. They don't work when relevant records are not updated regularly.
"Having a background check is not a cure for anything."
Not having an updated and accurate background check increases the danger of guns being in the hands of abusive or otherwise potentially dangerous person.
You argue from the position of a person irresponsibly defending the gun culture without being open to rational argument re steps which may end up with fewer guns in the hands of people who should not have one.
dishonestly and irresponsibly omits. IF you own a gun, you, one of your family members, or another is mammothly more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting.

And here’s one of those stranger things: A California man thought it might be an okay idea to hand his 7-year-old son a handgun, because of course it was unloaded. Except that it wasn’t, and the boy shot himself in the leg with it. Hey, it happens. Right? I mean, why don’t I ever report how many kids are injured by motor vehicles? Good question. Let’s address that. And as it happens, we don’t even have to move on to another story to do it. Because when dad decided (we surmise) to make up for his irresponsibility by driving his son to the hospital posthaste, that’s right about when he accidentally hit the 5-year-old neighbor with the family truck.
We really need to ban cars.
Our last call-out is our title story: The Rigby, Idaho, man unfortunate enough to have agreed to help his friends move without first asking if their toddler was armed. You think you know a kid, but these days, you just can’t be too sure. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=123622620
One most stubborn fact:
If there were fewer guns there would be fewer gun shooting accidents.
PS: For some reason that's been sitting on a tab for a number of days. Now the tab is free.
