We do not need more Gun Purchase background checks!

Criminals DO NOT subject themselves to background checks, they simply steal the weapon or purchase it on the black market! Adam Lanza is the perfect example of this! Adam Lanza did not buy the weapons he used to commit his crimes, he murdered his mother, then stole them from her! Answer me this, what actions did Adam Lanza take that was not already illegal when he committed them? Answer: NONE! Everything Adam Lanza did during the execution of his crimes was already illegal, yet, despite the fact that they were illegal, he still committed those crimes! We do not need new laws or background checks, what we need is a well armed citizenry, that is self-governing and self-sufficient! An armed society IS a polite society. It is a proven fact that more guns, truly does mean less crime. To date, the only solution to a bad person with a gun, is a good person with a gun! So, you still think background checks could have prevented mass murders? Let’s talk about James Holmes. Shall we? James Holmes purchased his weapons legally, thru licensed firearms dealers, he purchased his ammunition legally as well. This fact, we can all agree on. The fact is James Holmes DID have a background check performed when he purchased the weapons he used. A background check is as useless as telling a dope dealer to "Just say NO to drugs"! In the end, James Holmes admitted to authorities that he selected that specific theatre because it prohibited it’s patrons from carrying concealed weapons while in the theatre. Had there been armed citizens in that theatre, the outcome would have resulted in a lot less loss of life, and his assault would have been stopped sooner. Again your comments are futile, because no matter how much you hate to hear it, the ONLY answer to a bad person with a gun, is a GOOD person with a gun. Criminals DO NOT subject themselves to background checks, they simply steal the weapon, or purchase it on the black market. More guns = LESS CRIME! We do not need more gun control legislation! What we need is LESS gun control legislation! When you are in a town where almost every voting age adult is armed with a firearm of some sort, the crime in that town drops dramatically, in fact it almost disappears completely! According to the FBI, 5000 convicted criminals were surveyed, of those surveyed, 56 percent claimed that they would not attack a potential victim who was known to be armed. Indeed, the criminals in states with high civilian gun ownership were the most worried about encountering armed victims. Simply put. Criminals are motivated by self- preservation, and handguns can therefore be a deterrent. The potential defensive nature of guns is further evidenced by the different rates of so- called “hot burglaries,” where a resident is at home when a criminal strikes. In Canada and Britain, both with tough gun- control laws, almost half of all burglaries are “hot burglaries.” In contrast, the United States, with fewer restrictions, has a “hot burglary” rate of only 13 percent. Criminals are not just behaving differently by accident. Convicted American felons reveal in surveys that they are much more worried about armed victims than about running into the police. The fear of potentially armed victims causes American burglars to spend more time than their foreign counterparts “casing” a house to ensure that nobody is home. Felons frequently comment in these interviews that they avoid late- night burglaries because “that’s the way to get shot.” The truth is in the numbers. Statistics show that crime rates drop in rural & urban areas where gun ownership is on the rise. When fifteen national polls, including those by organizations such as the Los Angeles Times, Gallup, and Peter Hart Research Associates, imply that there are 760,000 defensive handgun uses to 3.6 million defensive uses of any type of gun per year. I'll take it even farther than that. Sandy Hook Elementary School is the perfect example for this. Yes it's tragic that 20 innocent children were murdered at Sandy Hook. But what about the more than 2080 lives that were saved that day across the nation because of a gun? The Progressive Liberals don't talk about that little inconvenient fact, do they? The fact is, over 2,080 people are saved every day in the United States BECAUSE of a gun! Yet, we never hear about those figures do we? Nope! We only hear the progressives talk about how many people died in a mass shooting. If the Liberal progressives were really so appalled about the 20 dead children at Sandy hook, how come they are not appalled about the 55 million innocent unborn children that have been murdered since the passage of Roe vs. Wade? The fact is, the Progressives really don't care about the 20 children that were murdered, truth be told, they really could care less about background checks at all, they only want to use the Sandy Hook tragedy as a tool to advance their leftist Progressive agenda designed to deny you of your liberties and freedoms, and enslave you further under the control of the Government. Bottom line is, it all boils down to control. Control of your life via legislation and criminalization of the law abiding citizen!

UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

3/4 of title 18 United States Code is Unconstitutional. Did you know that? Chapter 44, title 18 USC is the perfect example of a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment.
The 2nd amendment reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

No where in the 2nd amendment does it read, that you can keep and bear arms only if keep it unloaded and unassembled. Nor does it say that you may not carry a firearm in public. It does not say only those who have never commited a crime may keep and bear arms. No it says "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

Restrictions and regulations on firearms ownership & possession is a direct violation of the 2nd Amendment. PERIOD!

Thomas Jefferson said: “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

GEORGE MASON wrote: “ I ask, Who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers. Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised…to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia… The militia may be here destroyed by that method which has been practiced in other parts of the world before; that is, by rendering them useless - by disarming them. ”

JOHN ADAMS argued: “Arms in the hands of citizens (may) be used at individual discretion…in private self-defense…”

SAM ADAMS: “And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the right of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; …or to prevent the people from petitioning , in a peaceable and orderly manner; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.”

RICHARD HENRY LEE: “To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…No free government was ever founded, or ever preserved its liberty, without uniting the characters of the citizen and soldier in those destined for the defense of the state… Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizens and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen.”

These are the words of our founding fathers. These men intentionally wrote the 2nd amendment in to our Bill of Rights to ensure that no man or woman shall ever never again be a victim of any crime with out a means of self defense and to prevent the people from becoming enslaved by our government! Clearly every word of chapter 44, title 18 USC, the Lautenberg Amendment, as well as The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, contridicts every fiber of the 2nd Amendment, and therefore is Unconstitutional. But the U.S. Supreme Court will not hear this argument unless we the people stand up as a whole in opposition of these laws and every other law that restricts our rights under the the U.S. Constitution.
It is time America! Stand up and take back what is rightfully yours!
