Let the firearms be under control!

"This is a no-brainer, this is the simplest thing in the world," Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said. "It troubles me all the time."
Is it just that I'm in NY that it's required to have a background check at gun shows as well? And for the transfer of guns between private parties?
As a second amendment supporter I am fine with universal checks all across the USA.
I dont like felons or mentally unstable folks getting firearms. Some folks might still slip thru the system, but it could help a lot.
Many of those college shooters have had known mental issues but still somehow purchased weapons. Same with the man who shot up that ladies gymn.
Unless the ATF plans to vigorously enforce the law with expensive sting operations, "universal background checks" are just security theater. Private sales will continue to occur in gas station parking lots simply because dealer facilitation is a time sink, and the risk of arrest miniscule.
Instead of requiring all sales to be facilitated by dealers, a sensible alternative would be to allow private buyers/sellers to access NICS (or some modified version of it to avoid privacy issues). The burden of a 30 second background check phone call is so low that few people would object, and I suspect that compliance rates would be very high.
I'm all for this as long as everyone with a badge gets a background check including a mental health evaluation.
TX doesn't require it for private sales.
As for universal background check, I don't see a problem. I've submitted to one for every gun purchase I've made.
It's not hard to find an FFL, FFS...![]()
I would have to say that you are crazy or a plain idiot if you oppose background checks in order to own a firearm!!http://butthis.com/news/us-police-ch...-gun-purchases

Well said. Gun control <> taking guns away.
I can't view that article without some retarded ad thing popping up and obscuring the page; copy-paste it here pls.
Did you click the X in the circle to the right of the box to close it, you bastard. Now that I wasted my time because nobody else would help you, I no longer have any interest in expressing my very important and extremely cogent opinion.
I can't wait too hear the cops are always right guys show up in this thread. I guess these are the cops that are wrong...
