Gun Control & RKBA

Fewer crimes. Seems our arrival at such differs in view.

1. I agree, it isn't a full background check, that's just the vernacular in use. As far as social media, other constitutional hurdles must be overcome, or some folks will just think you're trying for a pure police state. As far as family/employer go, family isn't reliable/accurate enough at times. Haven't actually visited 3 of my 4 siblings in several years. B-day cards, C-mas cards, occasional e-mail is about it. Hardly enough to determine a go/no go on a constitutional right. And, I'm retired, so no current employer. LEO? They don't know anything about me. Because I don't break the law. A few years back, they were calling for a large snowfall (10-12&quot in our area. I have a 6-wheel drive 5-ton military surplus truck. Went to the city cops, told them that if necessary, I would volunteer my time/vehicle if needed for an emergency outside any plowed area. (Thankfully, the forecast was double what we actually got.) The dispatcher at the window didn't have the foggiest idea who I was, or how long I had lived in town (Over 20 years at same address.)

2.Read my #2 again. That scenario is completely unpredictable, and the only way to 100% stop it, is for there to be NO guns. Semi auto's on the NFA list won't stop the guy with a revolver, or a pump gun, or a bolt gun. You worry about the rate of fire, but the guy in the Pulse nightclub had all the time in the world. Could have used a muzzleloader, in fact. Same as Uvalde. Safe storage has no effect if the one storing the gun is going to be the one committing the crime. Or live-in family member, who kills you and breaks open the safe (Sandy Hook).

3. Funding isn't the problem with enforcing/sentencing. DA's, judges are at fault here. As far as executive orders, that's not how our system is supposed to work. EO's are used to get around the system. My job is to promote/elect congressmen that will stand up for what's right, not whatever the current lobbyist with a fistful of cash says.
