[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2174382, member: 688"] It seems relevant to resurrect an old Goldwater quote: "Extremism in the defense of virtue is no vice." We need to envision rolling back or totally eliminating background checks. This is tough to do when a majority of the population has an unhealthy fear of guns or has been cowed into silence. If we are a free people we should embrace freedom and personal responsibility. It is easy for criminals to steal guns or get them through their relatives. Background checks are not effective in keeping guns out of criminal hands. I think the remaining valid objection to rolling back background checks is worry over people in other categories such as the mentally disturbed, or the underage without any parental guidance. We probably know such people in our town or neighborhood. What do we do about them? The easy answer is pass a law. And when that doesn't work, pass another law. That is what we have been doing and it hasn't worked. Why do we think that this time will be different and it will work? [/QUOTE]
