Of course they should. Why shouldn't they?

Of course they should. Why shouldn't they? I am beginning to believe that no one should ever be able to obtain a firearm that has not been properly reviewed and approved, but that would be one person’s opinion on the matter. I see no reason why anyone should not be checked well prior to obtaining a firearm. I also believe that there should be a national database of people with mental illnesses and issues that should be checked also. However I don’t believe that doctors are even allowed to report mental problems of their patients? I don’t know?

Yes, private purchasers and gunshow purchasers should be vetted.

You have to be checked in Florida if you buy at gun show. I agree with it.

It's all stupid and a talking point for the weak. I'm scared so a background check will make us all safe..... Good grief
Humans have been killing humans since the dawn of civilization. It will never end. Just learn to deal with it and that unfounded fear will go away.

Nobody is saying you can't own a firearm. If you have nothing to hide what do you have to fear?

Illinois now requires all military types of weapons and any clip over 15 rounds to be registered. I got rid of mine rather than get on a list

Too much government is a bad thing

What about the credit card companies and banks reporting purchases of ammo and from certain places? That's happening. ATF has showed up at folks' doors to check guns purchased based off info from the background checks. With today's computers, everything is being tracked and documented. They already have most of what they need - CC permit, hunting license, ammo receipts, gun receipts... Only stuff purchased before computers is unknown.

No background check required when they just steal guns out of the nearest F-150.
