More Thorough Background Check Legislation Fails In the Senate - 54-46

sorry, but if you weren't scared you wouldn't need guns, or be so defensive when people challenge you view point in said guns. As I read all of your posts, you radiate fear about many things about this country. Not just you specifically, but all of the Conservatives on any of the forums I am on. They are afraid of change, afraid of people other than themselves and of things beyond their own comfort zone. Isn't that sort of the definition of conservative, or at least a connotation?

I'm not tryignto be confrontational...I am just reading some blatantly obvious signs of words and actions

I'm not afraid. I'm prepared. If something does happen I am ready to protect myself. I am 99.99 percent sure nothing will ever be needed and I can continue to enjoy life and shooting pop cans in the backyard. But if someone jacked up on meth decides to real into my house to steal my sudafed and attack my wife or son I know I am ready to deal with it.

How much sudafed do you keep at a time?

I personally don't use the stuff but some dude coming off his high doesn't know that. Way to deflect the conversation though!

No meth head is making a home invasion for sudafed unless he knows it's there. As such, you're probably safe.
Now, I realize you're making an example, but the fact you came up with that particular example tells me you are scared. Scared and uninformed.

Not deflecting anything, just proving you're frightened. If you weren't, you'd have said something about a mugging or genuine home invasion (ie: not a tweaking methol head) or anything else that might actually happen.

You can think whatever you want to think. I live in probably the least worrisome place in America. On a quiet culdesac with 2 police officers as neighbors. I'm not afraid of anyone coming in my house because I know I am protected by myself. I don't carry because I am afraid. I carry because other people are idiots and I want to eliminate that tiny chance someone does want to harm myself or my family. I know the odds of me ever having to is minute but I know I am always prepared

I guess I was barking up the wrong tree because the topic of the thread is about background checks. I fully support a background check for any weapon. If you want to visit a foreign country you have to wait on a passport. I see no problem for someone to wait for a permit to carry a gun. It may save a life or two for someone who in the heat of rage wants to purchase a weapon so in that sense it's a good thing.

These liberals don't understand that most any criminal can get their hands on an assault weapon inside of 5 minutes. The only ones that will be affected by a ban are law abiding citizens. Criminals could give a rats butt about a ban. To believe otherwise is foolish.

Generally speaking they would be fine. In reality it creates red tape for us and does nothing about people that would chose not to follow the law and get a fire arm on the street corner. Further, if you would like to talk REALITY this "background check" combined with the United Nations gun treaty would most likely result in ALL law abiding citizens losing there guns..............................

"People do scary things, so I carry a gun because I'm not scared!"

That makes less than no sense.

"Some meth head could come into my house looking for sudafed I don't have, even though a meth head would never waste his time on a 'maybe' AND I live between two cops...not because I'm scared!"

Youre scared. Inaction out of fear leaves everything as is. Children are dying because of the fear of a nation.

That said, I don't want to take your guns. I just want you to realize, and think about why you really feel you need them. Not NRA parrotting, why YOU genuinely feel you NEED it.

If you do that, you'll realize you're scared. You describe the safest home in America, yet still need your guns. That's fear, plain and simple.
