Do you support background checks at gun shows?
I don't know why Wayne had such a problem with the question. I would have made it simple for the Senator.
Should have replied NRA supports background checks for all sales going through a licensed dealer. Private sales are regulated by the states. We support the States that want to allow private sales and we also support the States that want to regulate them.
I'd take your question up with the State legislatures Senator. We don't believe Federal laws that violate the constitution should be the end all game plan if the states want to take over that area of regulation.

An alternative would be to open the NICS system to FREE use by the general PUBLIC as a web site. Even as an optional use system, I think a lot of sellers in a FTF deal would make use of it. 0 -

That is a Darn good idea!0 -
I agree: Background checks should be optional. If that's good enough to be President, it ought to be good enough for a gun buyer. 0 -
FFL DEALERS might look at as another oppoprtunity to cash in on another infringment.[;)] 0 -
I rather have access to do background checks on guns I'm buying. Like if it's been reported stolen before I plunk down the cash.
I say if you go to the store or shows sure do the back ground check. Parking lot of the store or show nope. In my home? Hells no (if I lived in a free state).0 -
I am fine with individuals conducting private business privately without oversight from the government. 0 -
It won't change anything that doesn't happen now,......none of the laws ever have.
When the majority of gun owners realize this is not about children, the sooner they will come to the conclusion it is a step towards confiscation.
The Lib gun grabbers have a LOT of patience,.....you have to give them that.
Also their 'wimmens' is fugly.[xx(][:)]0 -
Face to face (non dealers) transfers are none of the government's business.
NICS is a system that used to require a username and password on terminals in secured police and dispatch buildings, back in the day.0 -
I'm for the opposite. Every background check should have a gunshow! 0 -
No, but I support, in depth background checks for Senators. 0 -
Background checks for gun purchases should be as thorough as the MSM's investigation into O'bama the Irishman in 2007. 0 -
How about a backround check prior to being permitted to purchase or posssess your belief's holy book?
Or a backround check prior to being permitted to purchase or possess a newspaper or another publication?
Violation of rights is a violation of rights, right?0 -

It's guaranteed such a system would be misused/abused by people who weren't involved in any sort of gun transactions.0 -

Yes but only FFL's just like it would be if we Bought from their store. Private Individuals NO. 0 -
I support not selling felons guns AND finding out before a purchase if a gun is stolen.
How "We The People" can do that without giving up our rights of privacy and letting the feds into our lives even more is the 800 pound gorilla stomping through in the cake mix.0 -

The answer stares us in the face: keep those with a history of being dangerous locked up or make them dead.0 -
I support a gun in every home. 0 -

For ANY reason they wish.
Journalists, creditors, pissed off ex's, that nosey neighbor behind you, etc. would probably account for more inquiries than gun transcations. [:D]

All the more reason to implement that then!0 -
NICS
Stops felons ect from buying firearms = good
Keeps records of law abiding citizens/firearms = bad
FTF/Private party, way for felons to buy firearms = bad
Keeps transactions of law abiding citizens private = good
NICS without record keeping is that possible?0 -

Can you give me directions to the fantasy world you live in? I google mapped it, but it couldn't find the address.0 -
OK, let's make it more interesting: Tulsa show a non-ffl seller is offering me a Walther, not C&R. He is not from Oklahoma, nor am I. I did not buy it.
Gunshow loophole?
OK to buy?0 -
Of course I support background checks at gun shows - we need to make sure everybody who goes to one is REALLY a second amendment supporter [:o)] 0 -

There are very few absolutes. It is a tool, it is effective to a certain point. If a idea dosn't work it will die. If it does then it will take on a life of it's own. Sorry my idea didn't apeal to you.
I'm open to hear a way to solve both anti gun tyranny and people killing little kids etal.0 -
Did anyone see where that one senator is purposing background checks when buying ammo? He is nuts.[:(!][:(!] 0 -

He is not nuts.
He is NEGOTIATING.
And Wayne doesn't have the brain power to effectively advocate a cogent argument.
And his "Q" has to be negative.0 -
I support background checks for Presidential candidates retroactive back to 2008!!!!!!!! 0
