(12,194 posts)"Then why argue against background checks here?"
Please, point out for the entire world where I argued against background checks.
I'll wait right here.
"You register your car, your house, and virtually ever thing else you own."
What an ignorant thing to say.
I'm not required by law to register a vehicle simply to OWN it. In fact, I have a vehicle that does not have registration sitting not 50 feet from me.
And here I sit, posting from an unregistered PC.
What world do you live in, where "virtually everything you own" is registered?
As far as potential to inflict casualties, I assure you, it doesn't require a firearm.
I'm nfl linebacker sized, and in good shape. Someone my size could quite easily rape, rob, and murder without a firearm quite efficiently, I assure you. There are numerous people in prison for doing just that, in fact.
And then theres gasoline and matches.
Point being - if you think that a firearm is the thing that people own that has the most potential to inflict the most casualties, you'd be wrong.
