By definition, criminals do not comply with the law. So what makes my Democrat colleagues think tightening background checks on law-abiding Americans will decrease gun violence? Criminals get their guns from the black market, the so-called dark web, or by other illicit means.

None of the major shootings recently in this country would have been prevented by these laws. This legislation is a farce that would only make life more difficult for honest Americans and jeopardize their safety – while not so much as inconveniencing real criminals.

We cannot allow California’s radical gun laws to be imposed upon all Americans.

If those Americans are law abiding, then what do we care if there is a background check? Sort of like putting a wall up just puts restrictions on law abiding immigrants.

And how do you know they are law-abiding? Someone should check! Those who know they'll be denied, probably won't try to buy a gun. Those who know they are law-abiding won't care if they are checked. What's the big deal ... except to gun manufacturers and dealers?

Because laws work. You seem to think that way when it comes to immigration laws and abortion laws.

Criminals are the ones whose backgrounds need to be checked!
