we'e not talking about someone accused of a crime, now are we?
we're talking about folks wanting to buy a firearm. and if background checks can be instant & easy to produce for everyone, there should be no problem.
........but that's only if you want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
Background checks as they exist today are instant and easy to produce for everyone, and there is no problem. In Va, at least, a check takes less than 30 minutes under most circumstances, and convicted felons are barred from owning guns legally. So what is the problem?
I've said before, and I tend to remain consistent in my positions, I am not unhappy with federal regulations as they exist today. I have a problem with the states having the right to regulate my transportation of a personal weapon through their state. Someone in this thread stated that the states do not have the right to regulate lawful travel from state to state. So why should the states have the right to deny my rights to free travel, yet not have the right to regulate boat travel?
