6. Yeah, I don't agree with Scalia on much. But I'm not surprised that you seem to be a big fan.

If the government decides to tax (they already do) or confiscate guns, then background checks won't be much of an issue, will they?

Confiscating guns has nothing to do with abuse of information -- that would require a new law, voted on by congress and signed by the president. If the people decide that certain kinds of guns should be outlawed, like they did in the UK or Australia, and the government acts on the will of the people, that's not "abuse".

Funny how the whole issue of 30,000 people killed every year with guns doesn't seem to matter much to you NRAers, it's all about the paranoid fantasies, but the actual real people being killed every day don't show up on the radar screen.
