I am sorry, but that issue does not play with me.

My biggesat preoblem with the broad background checks, that the anti Second Amendment crowd wants, is that they will lead to a national gun registry.

Is there a fool out there that thinks the Government will not build a national gun registry? The safe guards of enhanced background checks pales when measured against the potential for door to door confiscations---using a national gun registry for an address list.

Of course expanding the background checks to gun shows... and also including a mental health background check will not stop hard core criminals from getting their hands on guns. That being said, it should make it far more difficult for borderline criminals and mental head cases to pick them up. Anyone that looks at this reasonably, will know that background checks are a good way to help protect law abiding Americans, without infringing on the law abiding Americans rights to keep and bear arms.

Trying to allow exceptions for gun shows and other venues, just provides a loop hole for those who know they could not purchase at their local retialer due to the already in place background checks there. For all intents and purposes, anyone that has bought a gun at a retailer is already on a list readily available to the Feds anyway.

One more note. If we ever actually get to the point of mass gun confiscations by the Feds, this will no longer be America anyway. Simply no reason to put up barriers for those intent on finding the loop holes just because you are worried about some potential future gun confiscation. If that ever came, it would be flat out civil unrest.

The simple truth is that background checks are another means for registering guns; throughout the history gun registration has always proceeded gun confiscation.

Registering guns and a gun laws have not and will never stop gun crimes and especially tragedies by crazy people.

Here's an idea, how about cutting loose all of the people in chair for pot crimes and other minor and simplistic guns crimes, and in place lock up all gun criminals, keep all of these criminals in jail and go back to having a system and place for nut jobs as we used to do.

Why is a single gun criminal put on probation and not put in jail, and serve his full sentence? Why not help and institutionalize crazy people instead of loading them up on drugs and letting them on the masses?

What makes you think Big Brother can't pull up your posts here and elsewhere and track you via the Internet?

Exactly. I'm all for comprehensive backround checks but I put a red line in the sand when it comes to a gun registry. This is a very dangerous slope that WILL be abused at some point. This line must not be crossed.
