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?
Dave Roof,
Groundskeeper
"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."
Keith Krausse,
Salesman
"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."
Benjamin Chavarria,
Custodian
"As long as they don't start requiring background checks for meat-cleaver purchases, I should be fine."
Jordan Stock,
Commercial Pilot
"God, guts and guns are what made America great. Oh, God—I just shot myself in the gut with my gun!"
Anne Hershberger,
Systems Analyst
"They should make gun buyers sign a waiver that says, 'I promise only to use this gun on bunnies.'"
Ellen Gosger,
Cab Driver
"I find that shooting people is an excellent alternative to letting them run a background check on me."
