What do you think? Is the resistance
to reasonable uniform background checks for all gun sales all about maintaining plausible denial for retail gun shops/gun shows. Isn't it easier to say "Oh what a tragedy!" when a mass shooting occurs then to acknowledge that a gun seller might be culpable for selling guns to someone who would not pass a background check? Edit to add: To turn a blind eye to background checking all buyers might be a tacit admission that you think that there might be a real chance that some customers might not pass the background check which might lead to a whole load of potential negative consequences.
Do you think that gun sellers would be a lot more cautious if they knew that they could be legally liable for selling a gun (guns) to a person with a history of a more dangerous form of mental illness or a history of violence that might have caught with a background check and the seller chose not to bother with the background check?
At point does the whole matter become a RICCO (racketeering) case driven by the NRA?
I am just pondering the issue and wonder what people think. It kind of makes me curious.
