<div dir="ltr">Scott,<br><br>I was asking a rhetorical question. The Supreme Court hasn't ruled directly but said this in Heller v. DC:<br><br>"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of
the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should
be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of
firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the
carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government
buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the
commercial sale of arms."<br><br>Since background checks address those prohibitions, I'd say they are constitutional.<br><br>Sunil<br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: scooterd408@hotmail.com<br>To: sunilramalingam@hotmail.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: RE: [Vision2020] A recent opinion poll conducted by the Lewiston Tribune shows . . .<br>Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 12:20:28 -0600<br><br>

I think background checks make sense for anyone purchasing a firearm but 'the world according to rules of Scott Dredge' would be a very bleak place as I also think the NSA scanning meta data makes sense.

<div dir="ltr">Sounds good to me too. If we actually lived in a democracy where the tyranny of the masses could trump individual rights, some these types of background check requirements might actually have some teeth. However, in the real world of the good old US and A, all it takes is one person to object to background checks as violating their 4th Amendment right en route to them exercising their 2nd Amendment right and the result is a tried and true recipe to strike down these background checks. Opinion polls be damned. That's akin to trying to justify that inter racial marriage bans should have been kept in place considering that 70+ percent of southern whites and 40+ percent of northern whites favored the bans.<br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: moscowcares@moscow.com<br>Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 03:02:17 -0700<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: [Vision2020] A recent opinion poll conducted by the Lewiston Tribune shows . . .<br><br><div><img src="cid:B7BE0D35-8006-42BC-9A3A-6DEC3BB02BAE" id="ecxB7BE0D35-8006-42BC-9A3A-6DEC3BB02BAE" style="padding:0px 1px 1px 0px;"></div><div><br></div><div>--------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>Sounds good to me.</div><div><br><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"There's room at the top they are telling you still.</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you want to be like the folks on the hill."</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">- John Lennon</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div></div><br>=======================================================
