What are you going to do this week to support expanded background checks?
Last edited Wed Sep 18, 2013, 08:00 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
Are you going to call your elected representatives at the state and federal level and tell them you want to see a bill passed that expands background checks to private sales, internet sales, and gun shows? Time to step up. Enough claiming you support background checks. Do something. Surely we can all agree on this?
So this is my challenge: Contact your representatives and when you're done, check in on this thread and tell us who you contacted. If you don't feel comfortable disclosing their names, simply tell us the position of those you contacted. Outline any version of a background check bill you support, but understand that no legislation passed will ever be perfect. Holding out for a perfect bill is an excuse to oppose background check legislation. This is something all of us, whether strong Second Amendment supporters or avid gun control proponents, can agree on. Let's keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those adjudicated a danger to themselves and others.

A gungeoneer juror called this OP flame bait. I find that very sad that proposing expanded background checks, something pro-gun posters have claimed they support time and time again, is seen as flame bait.
If there are members interested in pressuring law makers to get a background check bill passed, here is a thread in GD you can respond to. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023692025

That's too much for you?

7. It's not so much burdensome as comical.
I mean, this is really a bizarre tactic. Beyond bizarre, even.
In another thread you're lambasting people for being "gun worshippers" but unless we recite 50 "Our senators Who art in DC" every day while facing the eastern seaboard and promptly report our penances to our Chief Confessor we are to be judged apostates.
This is your new grand tactic?
I know this would be emotionally upsetting for some but I'm honestly laughing out loud at the ridiculousness of it all. Seriously, I'm laughing my ass off.

10. You think this is funny?
32,000 people die every year. Is it really that hard to pick up the phone or send an email?

13. Yes, I think you're OP is funny.
Let me know when you care about the tens of millions of people hurt annually by alcohol to pick up a phone or send an email asking to reinstate Prohibition.

16. So you're with the 9% of the nation who opposes background checks
and want to make sure criminals have steady access to guns?

19. Exactly as I predicted: chant the mantra or be deemded a heretic
You want to make sure drunk drivers, domestic abusers, rapists and violent alcoholics have access to booze?

talk about a mantra. I have the same conversation once with people. If the issue is not significant enough to you to remember, there isn't any point having it against because you obviously don't care.

26. And thus the declaration of anathema. Next comes excommunication.
Does all this pontification come with its own funny hat?
Thus endeth the lesson.

IIRC, NU is but a mere slip of a waif but something tells me if PhDDs and NU met on the streets weight and age wouldn't do PhDDs a squirt of good.

This statement may get you into the runnin' of DUmbass of the year BrainDrain!

please....
BB - let's say you get strict background checks on weapons. Do you know what you'll be saying a nanosecond or two later ? Because I do.
"Background checks disproportionately affect the 2A rights of minorities to legally purchase firearms, making the notion inherently racist. Therefore, new restrictions should be designed that can be applied to all Americans equally."

I think this should clear up any doubt as to why Alexandra lives alone and has to do the laundry by hand.
She sounds like my ex wife.... Yeesh!

Link to the stats? Oh and we already have background checks and wait times to purchase weapons.
How about we enforce thsoe before we create more new and ineffetive ways to stop the legal purchase of weapons.
and want to make sure criminals have steady access to guns?
You really think background checks will stop a criminal from purchasing a .45 with filed off serial numbers from another thug for $50?
:rotf:
You :censored: moron the only people that will be stopped from purchasing weapons are law abiding citizens trying to protect ehmselves from criminals.
But then that's what you really want isn't it?

So, a fake diploma from Nigerian E-mail State allows you to make up statistics, eh?
Great.

She is using a survey taken on a college campus and thinks that is how the majority of the country feels.

She is always doing this. It's maddening. "So you cheer and applaud for millions and millions of dead children. Good for you."
Verbiage like this makes people hate you.

Where everyone and everything is smoked or feeling no pain.....which is normal for DUmmies.
