[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] >"I'm not sure if this is done already, but background checks into the buyers could be carried out before handing over a weapon. It is a very large country and may not be feasible..." I'm sure. It IS done already. Thus far, its advocates claim it has prevented some 3000 people from obtaining guns. This is all well and good... until you follow up, and discover that the overwhelming number of people refused purchase weren't actually guilty of anything... they just happened to have the same name or address as somebody who WAS prohibited from owning one. Or the computer system glitched. Or any number of things. Not to mention the potential abuses of this power... "Orion Syndicate doesn't share our political viewpoints? Well, let's just type his name in here under 'prohibited'... This group opposes us too? let's plug in their entire membership roster. Then, if any of them already have guns, and we want to 'get' them, they can be arrested for illegal possession." [/QB][/QUOTE]
