Checks For Gun Buyers
Earlier this month, a new system of instant FBI background checks on gun buyers went into effect. The system, which takes the place of a five-day waiting period, is being challenged in court by the NRA as an invasion of privacy. What do you think?

I think the new instant checks are great. Last March, I had to wait almost an entire week before I could open fire on that busload of kids.
Dave Roof
Groundskeeper -
I'm in favor of a waiting period. Waiting just makes it all the more special when you finally give the bitch what she's got coming.
Keith Krausse
Salesman -
As long as they don't start requiring background checks for meat-cleaver purchases, I should be fine.
Benjamin Chavarria
Custodian -
God, guts and guns are what made America great. Oh, God—I just shot myself in the gut with my gun!
Jordan Stock
Commercial Pilot -
They should make gun buyers sign a waiver that says, 'I promise only to use this gun on bunnies.'
Anne Hershberger
Systems Analyst -
I find that shooting people is an excellent alternative to letting them run a background check on me.
