No need to get your nose bent- I only meant, that it seems you have a gun problem in Europe- your outrage would be better spent where you actually have influence.
Updating an archaic tracking system is all good and fine. YOU STILL won't be able to prevent illegal gun sales! My first post to you on this matter was specifically that this young man intended to kill and he was going to do that. They already know he had plans to build a bomb. He could have purchased a gun illegally. All the laws in the world do not prevent criminals from taking criminal action.
What prevents criminals from taking criminal action? Other citizens who are armed? A police force who act on tips about the criminal? A society who Embraces and cares for one another?
TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

There was a recent thread on the topic of gun dealers ignoring the results of background checks and still selling the gun. I don't know any that would. What they'd make by selling a thousand of them illegally would't come close to what it would cost them if just one misused the gun and it was discovered what the dealer did.
Yeah, that doesn't happen unless the ATF tells them to sell them to Mexican drug lords so they can "track" them magically with no trackers attached (see Fast and Furious program for details). Their livelihoods are at stake as well as the incredible amount of liability and prison time they face if they ignore the results of these background checks.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
