Why would any one in their right mind be against strict gun control?

[rollingrock]

unless you are a criminal, why would you be opposed to strict, thorough background checks or why would you be bothered with say, having a 2 to 4 week waiting period? what is the rush? the purpose being of course, to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals as much as possible by making it virtually impossible for them to obtain firearms legally. in addition to closing the gun show loophole. that's what I don't get about the anti-gun control people. why would any law-biding citizen be against it unless they were criminally predisposed and/or mentally unbalanced that they would fail a thorough background check?
