That’s what occurs to me every time someone spews that “ criminals will always get guns” argument.

Guns are way too available and people just want to sell them and make money.
The background check issue is another ridiculous argument- they’re so often incomplete or missing but some people insist that they’re always done. Nope.

So let’s not have laws at all, since criminals will always find ways to break them. We might as way go easy on rape, because someone will find a way to do it anyway.

If anything, this shows that gun control is so lax that it’s so easy to find a whole arsenal of illegal ones. If laws were stronger, he probably wouldn’t find it so easy to have all those guns, not to mention grenades.

When “gun control laws” really is just a background check on records, it’s so easy for everybody to get one. It’s not that hard to jump that little hurdle. If gun control meant stricter background checks, including checking those people close to the one requesting permission, if there was a ban on assault weapons, if there was an inspection at the person’s property before granting permission, then it would also make it harder for criminals to get their hands on guns.

This is just an example of how criminals do not follow the laws and will find a way to obtain weapons. Always.

Background checks are done on every single purchase from a gun store or dealer. They are also done on some, not all private sales. If a gun store or dealer does not follow federal law and do background check they will lose their license.

No Federal license = No gun selling business = No $$$$

But then you don’t remember or believe this, even though you have been told many times by many people over the years.

And home inspections to buy a gun? Really? What purpose would that serve, who is going to do the inspection and who will pay for it? Does every store have to hire someone to go do home inspections? That would stop criminals?

How many people who should not legally be able to purchase guns get their guns legally and go through a background check? I would say it’s very close to 1% or less. They may become criminals AFTER they legally purchase a gun, but then the gun is not an illegally purchased gun.

No one is saying get rid of laws, they are saying enforce the ones we have instead of adding new ones to be ignored.

I guess I missed the memo that says we aren’t allowed to quote people and ask them questions until they quote us first.
