Meaningful background checks

[DRSHUNTER]

Does meaningful background checks mean we will eventually see buying a gun be like getting a suppressor with a one year wait or worse?

The NFA background check is the exact same one as the NICS check, it just has to sit on someone's desk until they dig themselves out from the thousands of other ones on top of it to approve it.

But to answer your question "meaningful background check" has probably as much substance behind it as "common sense gun control" and "traditional marriage" it's just yet another political buzzword to make the person saying it think they are actually saying something.

It's just rhetoric. I have probably had 10 background checks that got approved over the years, that they approved, then called back later to ask if I had transferred the firearm, because that person shouldn't have been approved.
Tells me someone wasn't doing their job in the first place.
Another big issue is the website NICS has is about as reliable as a Yugo.
I guess I might be more supportive of other measures if they actually used the ones they already have more effectively.

It’s another idea that will erode away another piece of our freedom. It will fail to prevent these mass shootings by lunatics. just another step in the direction of total firearms ban.

Meaningful background check = booming black market.
Aspiring criminals don't need no background check.
They are in the stealth mode don't you see?

Nobody want a crazy person buying a AR 15

Dems believe any who would want to own a AR 15 is crazy

Slippery slope

"Meaningful" background checks in my opinion open the door for very subjective screenings. FB posts, E-mails, any videos posted of you online, or anything you've said off the record to friends and family being used against you to deem whether or not you're "Worthy" to own firearms. Very very slippery slope.

This too shall pass. When the media buzz dies down everyone will move on and no bills will be passed IMHO. Nothing that can be done that makes sense and will have any effect.

I’m not in favor or any restrictions since it’s my god given right not a privilege, but given the system we have today, why couldn’t the nics system work with other databases to keep illegals and those with felonies from purchasing. Seems we read everyday a felon purchasing a legal firearm.
I am surprised that even e-verify for illegals is full of holes.

I don't know about that. We already have seen bump stocks outlawed. Crazy thing is gun control steps will probably be inacted by Republicans. The Democrats won't need full control of the White House and Congress

It means the end of the "gun show loophole". Actually that doesn't exist, but what it would end would be the private sale or gift of a firearm from an individual to an individual without going through an FFL and background check first.

This is what I think too.

More absolutely useless legislation that will only further burden lawful gun owners.

Can anyone tell me how many mass shootings have occurred with private sale firearms?

First I don't think God gave us the right to keep and bare arms. I'm pretty sure that was the 2nd Amendment.
Second we at least need to have meaningful talks about the broken health care system and how to minimize the number of these disturbed individuals legally obtaining weapons (firearms) to use in this type of atrocity.
I agree taking my guns wwont stop them but far too often them are known as possible threats yet we don't intervene and prevent these occurrences.
Just like the 1st A doesn't give you the right to tell fire in a crowded theater neither does the 2nd allow you to own a gun to commit crimes with.
