I think I'm for background checks but maybe I misunderstand what that means . I don't think somebody that just got out of jail for beating there wife half to death should be able to buy or possess a firearm . What about the guy thats been convicted of armed robbery ? He should not be able to buy a gun either . I'm sure there are many other people that should not be armed .

How do you stop them from going to wal-mart or a gun show and buying a gun if you don't want background checks or is it cool the convicted rapist next door has a gun ?

Is the argument , because the can buy them on the street no one should be checked ? That does not work for me cus every law can be broken so why have them .
