I cannot believe so many people believe in background checks yet want GCA68 to go away.

Guess what guys, there were no FFLs prior to the GCA68. There were no background checks by anyone. Never was a problem back then.

Remember. Only law abiding citizens will comply with a background check anyway, so why burden them? It is stupid. Criminals never have a problem obtaining weapons anyway. If they cannot purchase them on the street, they will steal them. If they can't steal them from private people, they will steal them from the police or the military.

Yes, repeal the GCA68 and all of it associated law. The national government has no business in teh "arms" business

By the way, by my table top dictionary definition #1...an Arm is an OFFENSIVE weapon.
