You still miss the entire point of this thread, this woman GOT caught breaking numerous federal laws and received no punishment. Try to catch up here, we'll slow down a bit for you
She was sentenced but the judges decision was light, she could have gone away for 10 years. So because you don't like the decision you feel that there should be no background checks. I have seen speeders and more severe crimes get reduced, that doesn't mean the laws are not working. One anecdote does not make a case.

Meanwhile there is another thread indicating an owner should be able to sell a gun to pretty much anyone without a background check.

If you can find where in this thread where I made any argument for or against background checks, then you're reading far too much into what people are saying, I never mentioned it once. You really should start paying attention.

I assume that leo's go through all kinds of background checks?

Well, according to the liberals and of course the BlackLivesMatter crowd .. cops are on a killing spree?

How go did those background checks work out?

Driving out here at speed limits, and getting passed by everyone else out there, is ample proof that Speeding Laws are just as effective as Gun Laws. No one pays any attention to them, and they are useless.

A law that you can't enforce is a waste of time and energy. What are you going to do, assign everyone their own cop? I don't mind submitting myself to background checks, but it is a waste of resources that could be used elsewhere.

Yep, Guns are made to kill. Congratulations. You win!

"We" need to Ban Guns? No, "We" don't. Why don't you go ahead and start without us. We can catch up later. Let us know how you make out.

So how Will making new/more laws than the already 36 help that problem? You said too many people committing crime against existing laws so we want to create more laws... You okay?

Lying on the form is a felony. We don't need more gun laws when the government refuses to enforce existing laws.

What he did had not been against any law, for 220 years prior.........

Show me where in the US Constitution, that the federal, state, or local governments have any authority to place any restrictions on guns?? Show me! I can show you why they don't have any authority.
