Background checks for gun purchase okay but…

I have no serious problem with a background check. I cannot support one that doubles as a gun registration database, nor one that does not allow me to sell my property, or pass it on to my children, nor one that allows the police to confiscate a firearm without a judges order.

If the law requires one to get a background check within one year prior to taking ownership of a firearm that may be acceptable, and having the background check recipient be required to keep the approved background check form seems reasonable.

But before any of this should be considered, political jurisdictions should be required to be certified that they are adequately enforcing existing gun laws including prosecuting those who lie on background check applications. In designated high crime areas a “stop and frisk” program seems reasonable.

This isn’t about the NRA. This about Constitutional rights!
