So it turns out that pro-gun proponents don't really support background checks after all

62. Like I said..

I don't necessarily have a problem with background checks, but with the registry they would require. It's not really about guns, but relationships between people and how that information may be used by government and/or business. Two entities which are becoming dangerously intertwined.

Now, I know you have posted on this subject at great length, and yet you don't seem to have given any thought to how your desires will actually work. I know for a fact that I have asked you, very nicely, how you think they will work and you have consistently declined to even consider it. I don't mind. If you don't want to think about it, you don't have to. But try to remember that a lot of people are asking those same questions, and the answers they are getting will likely shoot any universal background check legislation in the foot.

If you're really serious about gun violence, you will give serious consideration to the mechanics of regulating firearms transfers and elucidate your solutions so that others will accept them. Anything less indicates that your passion is more for your own benefit than for others.
