I was writing up a HUGE response to that Jessie one then realized I had to tie my FB page to the site to post. Not gonna happen.
Here's what I wrote:
"First, the numbers of guns purchased without a background check is dishonestly over exaggerated to make it appear worse of a problem than it is. Second, Criminals do not use background checks. What's so hard to comprehend about that statement? If criminals already don't obey the law, what makes you think they will obey this law? And if they don't obey this law, then the law ONLY applies to law abiding people who will now have a further hindrance in the way to legal gun ownership. In essence, it's a law that does nothing by hinder law abiding people. Why is that a good law? Right now if you buy any gun from any dealer anywhere in any way, you will have a background check. Period. That's the way it is PRIOR to the new law. If a dealer is involved, a background check WILL be run whether it's in the store, the gun show, the back of his car, doesn't matter. IF you buy ANY gun from a gun show, you will have a background check done. Period. Even if that sale takes place in the parking lot of the show. That's the current law. The ONLY thing this law does is prevent 2 law abiding citizens from exercising their right to exchange legal property.
As for the capacity? Wow, do you even understand the concept of the stress reaction of the human body to danger? As your adrenaline starts ramping up, your body begins to react by shaking. Meaning that even if you are a AAA+++ marksman and can hit a gnat from 300yds with a pistol, you will likely miss your exact target under the stresses of life or death. Further, as the attacker is also pumped up on adrenaline, the fact is a human body can sustain an amazing amount of abuse before it gives up. (Not death, just stops fighting.) Case after case of attackers being shot multiple times before they turned and ran occur all across the country. Think of the man shot 5 times in the face at close range who still had the ability to run to his car and drive away from the place where he tried to attack a woman home alone with her kids. The Hollywood myth of gun fights is exactly that, a myth. the vast majority of gun shot victims survive. And motivated attackers can do a LOT of damage even after being shot. Recently a man in FL was shot twice in the chest and once in the leg by trained law enforcement and still managed to shoot 2 of them before they finally took him down with a head shot.
And btw, that doesn't even get into the reality of number of attackers. One magazine with 10 rounds MAY be enough for one attacker, what if there are 2? 3? 4? Arbitrary limits on your ability to protect your self is all that your talking about. The is no "right" limit. How many attackers are legally allowed to attack you and your family? I haven't seen the laws on that yet."
Oh well, At least I got it out of my system.
