The Power to Say "No"

The Second Amendment makes no provision for an outfit like NICS to “approve or disapprove” an American citizen’s RIGHT to buy and use a gun, for whatever reason. The Second Amendment clearly states that, “[T]he right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It makes no provision for background checks, which could, and sometimes does, form that infringement They SAY background checks keep ”the wrong people” from getting guns. It does NOT. People who wish do do ill with their guns do not go to a gun store to buy that gun unless that gun store sells guns “under the table.” And NICS is supposed to destroy the record of that purchaser’s name after a few days, and if you believe they do, I have a wonderful bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you. If caught, they would just blame it on “bureaucratic inefficiency.” Add to that the fact that having the power to say “no” is also not in the Constitution. Criminals will always be able to get their guns, so it’s foolish to prevent honest people from getting guns with which to defend themselves. That only gets them killed by criminals with their illegal guns. Why the anti-gun fools can’t see that, I don’t know. I guess they just don’t care. (Just common sense)
