Isn't it a right to bear arms? Why do you need a background check for something that's your right?

I don't really want the gun too much but my other personality is itching to get his hands on one.

No. It would have to be prior convictions. Innocent until proven guilty, remember.

What'd you buy it for? Just target practice? Why'd you want a handgun as opposed to a rifle?

Don't we have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? How can we put people in prison and expect them to be happy?

(your question was as dumb as mine ;))
