Dude, you have no right to complain considering the little man with the mustache took guns away from his own people prior to a certain little international block party he threw from 1939-1945. America's gun ownership is our business. Though I agree with you that NOONE has the right to own an assault weapon. So I'll give you that much.
Are you aware of the NICS background check?
Started in 1998:
NICS (National Instant Check System) is required before buying a gun.
Your social security number is dialed to the state police and federal law enforcement agencies of your state before the gun is bought. Your mental, criminal, and physical records are totally accessed, and if ANY information you provide on the form is inconsistent with the database, you CANNOT buy a gun. If you have a conviction for as little as throwing something at someone or shoving someone, you CAN'T buy a gun.
You cannot lie on this form because your permanent records are matched against the info you provide. It's a far cry from perfect but this is a safer step. And while you can't stop organized crime, this system ensures that people who are better capable of having guns buy them.
I have no criminal records, no felonies, and I am legally entitled to own a gun under the laws of my state. And I and other people shouldn't have our rights taken away as a result of those who are criminal in their intent.
