Oh, did we start requiring criminal background checks for pipes and metal stock too? This is the same problem we’re facing in the rest of the country, everything can be used as a weapon, and requiring background checks on all of them is gonna do nothing to stop gun crime. Regulate the damn guns, that is the only thing that will help.
America isn't the only country in the world with hardware stores yet is still the only country in the world with weekly mass shootings -- 80% of which use legally purchased firearms and 0% of which use home made guns.
You’re getting downvoted to shit on most of your comments but just wanted to say you are not wrong.
Except comments where I use a % -- those still have a conspicuously positive score. I wonder if someone's sleazy tools are being thrown off by it?
