But if some guy sells his dead father's Rem 742 deer rifle in a garage sale or at a gun show (where he's likely to get a better price), there's no background check.
So how does the guy selling his dead father's deer rifle differ legally from the dude making straw purchases for gangbangers on Chicago's West Side?
OTOH, Obama does have a history of unconstitutional overreach. Notably in delaying implementation (i.e. enforcement) of some sections of the health care bill he pushed.
Heller was a Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court also had a decision on the ACA. But only the latter is "overreach" because you disagree with it.
Would you say a Husband that is suffering from depression because he cant find a better job to make his families life better and went to the Dr about it. is he mentally ill ? i would say no. would the government ?
I would say, "abso-fucking-lutely". The husband suffering from depression because he can't find a job and goes to the doctor and is prescribed anti-depressants should absolutely be prevented from buying a gun.
Let him find a way to kill himself that won't involve him shooting up his family, his ex-boss and maybe several neighbors and cops. Dude doesn't need guns, he needs to take his meds and get back to work.
What if they started creating mental illnesses classifications based around political or whatever the fad of the day might be and deny free speech rights to those involved?
And what if Saturn started spinning really really fast and it's rings got loose and spun towards Earth like a giant frisbee with razor blades and cut our planet clean in half? Then what, huh? And then because the Earth had been cut in half, Obama said, "Everyone left alive has to lean to the left to keep the half-world from wobbling" and then all the guns slid out of our pockets and off into space?? You fuckers didn't think of that, did you?
How could a federal database of people with mental health problems (instantly searchable during the background check) possibly be in compliance with HIPAA?
When public health is at risk, HIPAA laws have certain limitations. For example, in the case of an Ebola outbreak, state and federal government can share patients' medical records.
An argument could be made that psychopaths buying guns represents a clear public health risk.
As long as we're talking about Carroll Quigley, you know that he was a conspiracy nutter, don't you?
One distinctive feature of Quigley's historical writings was his assertion that secret societies have played a significant role in recent world history. His writing on this topic has made Quigley famous among many who investigate conspiracy theories.[2]:96, 98 Quigley's views are particularly notable because the majority of reputable academic historians profess skepticism about conspiracy theories.[21]
I had a few bughouse crazy professors that had a positive impact on my thinking, but that doesn't mean I'm going to quote their horseshit in a Slashdot discussion.
Tech can always be circumvented so it's not gonna work
Are you making an argument that tech doesn't work anywhere or is it only in the magical realm of guns that tech doesn't work "because it can be circumvented"?
AH, PUT WINDOWS UP YER ARSE, YE BUFTIE M$ COONT FER I TROW A BUST MOOTH ON YER.

So, the "study" is performed by Dana Remus who is a law professor. What exactly makes her an authority on AI? Oh right, nothing. Jesus christ, when will the idiocy around here stop.
For an American or European, there is no problem at all in coming to the Netherlands and living there.
That's for sure. Last time I was in Amsterdam, I met a really nice girl who taught me what backdoors were for. She was just standing in a doorway and was just super friendly. It would have been one of the greatest nights of my life, but I must have lost my wallet somewhere. I remember thinking that she had really strong hands for a girl.
Benjamin Franklin was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. His LIFE was threatened.
Really? I assume you have some citation for that. He spent a good chunk of the Revolutionary War drinking and chasing pussy in the Palace of Versailles. Nobody was gonna lay a hand on him.
Maybe you're mistaking the plot of Assassin's Creed Rogue for reality? Because that's fiction.
The Constitution prohibits a titled aristocracy. Most of the Founders thought that the continued limitation of the vote to property owners was a good thing, becuase it would discourage thieves as a voting block. It is deliberately misleading to call people with a stake in the success of the country a "moneyed class."
Not just property owners. White, male property owners. And if anyone should have understood that renters, sharecroppers, people who worked for a living have just as much goddamn "stake" in the country, it should have been Franklin, who claimed to believe in Enlightenment principles. Sorry, pal, but your origin mythology about the USA and the Constitution is faith-based, not evidence-based. You've been told a fairy tale and have chosen to Listen and Believe.
People who work would all have less stress if we were able to keep more of our paycheck instead of having it raided for government giveaways to non-workers.
At your income level, the amount of money that the government takes is negligible.
Heck, there are some places where human empathy is actually a negative to the effective performance of the role: - governance - being a police officer (in some contexts) or soldier - hunting
to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. (Benjamin Franklin)
That was easy for Ben Franklin to say, since his Liberty and Safety were never threatened. Being a wine snob and a scold who liked to hang around the Palace of Versailles, its easy to tell other people how to live and how to think.
But to his credit, even at the very beginning, Franklin (and Jefferson, Madison, et al) knew that most Americans were grubby fucking morons who only wanted comfortable shoes and a warm place to shit. That's why they created a Constitution that made the United States a country that would be governed by the aristocracy and moneyed class.

Checkmate, liberal bitches.

Thanks a lot, Obama.
It is a relief that at most I'll live to be about 100, because human beings are about to fuck everything up in a big way.
Can you tell us which motherboard? I'm looking to order a new mobo/CPU combo and don't want to have to install 10 yet.
Do they count how much worse a lot of games run on Windows 10?
Anyone who plays games knows that if you've got Windows 7, you leave it alone. I may reconsider when Win 10 SP1 comes out, assuming it will.
What makes you an authority on idiocy?
Oh, never mind.
That would be an interesting reversal, wouldn't it?

Dude, that's pretty fucked up.
2016 will be the Year of My Genitals on the Desktop.
If you question whether empathy is something positive in any human endeavor, you're a pretty fucked up human being.
