THE GUN NUTS WILL BE SILENCED

Advocates of "Preserve Gun Rights At All Costs" frequently say that they do not like to be referred to as Gun Nuts or Nut Cases. Well, if they did not act like Nut Cases, people like me might not refer to them as Nut Cases. All we want is to have the same assurances that people who by guns at gun shows do not have a history of violence, criminal activity or mental illness that people buying guns at Gun Stores already have to prove assurances of. We are not proposing to take away anyone's guns, or even deny people that do not have a history suggesting that they would use their guns to harm others unnecessarily the opportunity to purchase fire arms. We are just saying let us make sure that those who do have such a history will not be able to purchase at a gun show what they could not purchase at a gun store. Anyone who opposes this thinks that it is just fine for those with such histories to purchase firearms and use them against whoever they choose. Some say that requiring this of individual, private dealers would put an undue financial burden on such people. To those people, I simply ask, if a person can afford to buy enough guns to take to an official gun show, surely they can afford the simple bit of software required for such checks. I am not, as others have suggested, talking about simple, one-on-one, person to person purchases, I am talking about official, registered, event center gun shows. Anyone who thinks lunatics and felons should be able to purchase firearms at such venues is, by definition, a nut case, and so I at least will continue to call then such until such time as it happens that THE GUN NUTS WILL BE SILENCED.
