I have asked serveral people and some people several times, the same question; but instead of answering it, they have posted responses that have nothing to do with the question.
There are those that have been pushing for extended back ground checks; but they have yet to show how it's going to change anything.
So I decided to ask the question, in a new thread, so that it would reach more liberals then the ones I've already asked and hopefully one of them will be able to give an honest answer.
The question is:
"How are increased background checks going to stop "murderers, felons and wife beaters" from getting guns, that are already illegal for them to have?"
I anxiously await an answer.
"Since when do criminals obey laws" right. That's what you are getting at isn't it?
The instant you ask that question about one law you automatically ask it about every law. (unless you are bias and you only want it asked about the law you are against)
Since when do ALL criminals follow ALL laws? Name one law that has been made that has never been broken. Does this mean we should just stop making laws because it's just a "feel good" measure?
Speed limit laws don't stop some from speeding and endangering lives.
Murder laws don't stop people from murdering.
Rape laws don't stop people from raping.
So since when have we had the notion to stop laws just because they don't stop all criminals? The concept of; "Well they are going to get a gun illegally anyway so we should just let them get one at a gun store easily and faster" seems stupid to me.
With luck the police could be monitoring the illegal gun buy and the criminal could get busted. You might say, "doubt it" so I will ask you this. Should we drop laws because you doubt they catch EVERYONE. Or should we work on ways to improve the system.
Everyone has to prove they are capable to handle things in life. You cant just be a doctor. You cant just waltz in and say, "hey i'll be a doctor" and have people think "Well..........I can't tell he won't be a good one until he is proven to fail" You can't just go drive a car, you have to get a license proving you are capable. You can't just jump in and drive at any age and people won't judge that. They won't say, "Well, I guess if he does ok then I'm ok with it. But if he wrecks and kills someone then I won't be"
This isn't rocket science kids.
