    How are we supposed to know if the person who wants to buy a gun is stable and law-abiding if we don't do background checks?
    So just let anyone buy any gun they want and see how it turns out?

    If we stopped selling guns, then we wouldn't have to worry.

    Nobody's seriously talking about that.

    Just give me a straight answer, no slippery slope argument, no straw men, no "that's not the point."

    How is expanding background checks going to keep stable, law-abiding citizens from owning guns?

    I really hope hope all the other countries in the world, where gun violence is not a problem, keep properly training their citizens to properly use the weapons they don't have.

    The weed-whacker has already been taken to the Constitution. Several times. By both parties.

    The only difference is, in the past, it was mainly done through the shit-for-brains Congress.

    Which doesn't make it OK.

    Shouldn't we wait and see what he's actually proposing before flipping out about it?

    We've been freaking out about Obama coming to take our guns for seven years. So we are supposed to wait to flip out when he actually proposes something.

    As soon as he de-arms the citizens, he's going to put the dissidents in those secret prisons he has been building.

    The secret FEMA camps constructed by the military using tunnels connecting Walmarts throughout the southwestern US? Those FEMA camps!?!

    Anyway, when it comes to expanding background checks everybody but the NRA and the politicians who cash their checks say they're OK with them.

    Most Americans Agree With Obama That More Gun Buyers Should Get Background Checks

    Which has nothing to do with Batman's point.
