| I have a 50/50 view on background checks.
I do support that to a limit. It comes down to two things. Time and the mark of the beast.
I do not want to government to go and make me do finger prints and dna test to buy a new firearm. As of right now. Florida runs you through FDLE (state version of the FBI). Most checks take about five minutes because most folks have no past. But some get screwed because of their names.
Do you know how many folks named Jorge Lopez or Carlos Perez are in Florida?
There a millions of them. So one ruins it for all.
In the end, nothing stops criminals from bypassing the system.
It's called a Straw Purchase. Someone with a clean background goes and buy said firearm for criminal. Happens all the time. Every gun store has signs saying that doing a straw purchase will land you in jail by the BAFTE for 10 years. Folks still do it because some folks are criminals.
So once again, why are you going to hurt the law abiding community with such a hurdle for buying a new firearm? |
