1. Without a background check, you’re claiming sellers can’t know if a buyer is prohibited. Okay, but how does this system actually stop bad actors? Prohibited individuals don’t care about your paper trail…they get guns illegally. - ThreadSky

2. Prosecuting sellers? Fine in theory, but in practice, background checks overwhelmingly punish law-abiding people who make mistakes, not criminals. The 95% false positive rate from NICS denials shows this system is broken and targets the wrong people.

And then there’s your final leap: “Without background checks, you support terrorists.” Cute. Giving the government more control over who “deserves” rights has never gone well for marginalized groups.

History proves this. Who decides what counts as a “reasonable” restriction, and who enforces it? The same government that spied on civil rights leaders? The one that disproportionately disarms Black and brown communities? Yeah, no thanks.

It’s not about “playing”t’s about rights. You don’t gatekeep those. Period.
