Oh, so now you’re the gatekeeper of who “deserves” rights? Fascinating. Tell me, who gets to decide this? You? The government? Because history shows us how well that has worked out for marginalized groups. (Spoiler: it hasn’t.)

1) Without BGC, seller can't know if a buyer is prohibited
2) Hard to prosecute sellers who can deny knowing buyer is prohibited.

So, you support terrorists easily accessing guns. Got it. Thanks for playing.

Only 19 states require background checks for all gun sales:

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.

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.

tulu1791.bsky.social•45 days ago

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.

What are you going to do about 3D printing?

bryandawsonusa.bsky.social•45 days ago

That's a big problem. Start a thread on that and propose solutions! Then play #StumpARepublican!

My solution, respect people’s rights

bryandawsonusa.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly. Repeat the #2A. Keep guns away from criminals and terrorists. Glad we agree.

Our rights are sacred precisely because they aren’t contingent on someone else’s judgment of whether we “deserve” them.

That’s the entire point of the Constitution—maybe crack a history book instead of parroting feel-good nonsense.

tulu1791.bsky.social•45 days ago

Also, let me get this straight… you’re defending universal background checks (which are an infringement by design) under the guise of “patriotism.” Meanwhile, criminals are building ghost guns at home or buying them off the black market without batting an eye.

tulu1791.bsky.social•45 days ago

So really, all you’re advocating for is creating more hoops for law-abiding citizens to jump through while criminals carry on as usual. Brilliant strategy.

And as for that article you’re peddling… it’s behind a paywall. LMAO. If your argument was so airtight, you wouldn’t need to hide it behind a subscription fee. Try again.
